122 won't start

Hello all,

After changing the points on my '65 122s, it wouldn't start. After seeing nothing wrong, I check for a spark from the coil-to-dist. cap wire. It produced no spark. I traced low-tension current all the way to the ignition switch from the battery. All three terminals around the center of the switch have current. Not the center terminal that projects forward (I can't tell what is what on the switch). Current exists between fuse box terminals 3 & 4. No current comes off the small low-tension wire terminal on the engine compartment side of the coil. According to my Haynes manual, either I have no current to my coil or a bad coil. Does this sound right, and if so, would this be entirely coincidental to me replacing the points?

Thanks in advance,
-Smitty
