When I said the spark should jump from the end of the coil wire, I meant the high tension wire. I called it the coil wire to distinguish it from any of the plug wires downstream of the distributor. When I said the other coil wires, yes I meant the two that attach to screw terminals, one going to the points and one going to the ignition switch (and ballast resistor if you have one). For test purposes, the screwed-on coil wire that's not connected to the points should temporarily be jumpered to the ungrounded battery terminal. If you get a spark (out of the hi-tension wire) with that jumper in place and you're manually working the points, but you don't get a spark when you remove the jumper and hook it up to your regular ignition circuit, then you would start troubleshooting that circuit -- ignition switch, ballast resistor, fuse, wiring, etc., step by step.
