122 won't start 120-130 1965

Hey folks,

First time in 8 years my '65 122 won't start.

It was running fine while driving to store. Came back out to drive home and it wouldn't start. I have fuel coming from fuel line at the carb. Disconnecting coil lead from distributor cap and holding it near the block or holding a spark plug tip to the block yields no spark when turning engine over. I do have 12 volts across the open points and 12 volts at the small coil terminal when ignition is on. I changed the points to no avail.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
–Chris
