Default 149 - burnt points?

I hate this ethanol crap gas we have now in old equipment. As such, I shut off the fuel valve and run my engines dry when I won't be using them for a while. Well this practice bit me I think. I ran my 149 out of gas and forgot and left the ignition key on. Now the engine turns, but won't fire. Did I burn the points by leaving the ignition on? Should I just slip a points file between the contacts and go, or do I need new points and go through the K-series Static Ignition timing proceedure?
