PV 544 Won’t Start / No Spark? 444-544 1962

Thanks everyone who helped me understand the PVs ignition system.
I cleaned up the distributor and installed a tuneup kit and it roared to life!
I think the root causes were: 1) points look burnt, and (2) spring from breaker arm was loose from the “post” and was sprung out and contacting the distributor body.
I couldn’t see that until I held the new breaker pieces in my hand and could see how they were supposed to look.
Thanks again all!
