I have (small) spark from the coil (at the distributor end of things)

Put your old coil back on the car and see where that takes you. The reason it won't spark at the plug is the voltage is too low. The voltage is developed by the coil. If the points are opening and closing and you have weak but visible spark at the wire, they points are doing their job.
