I think pos to neg terminals on the coil should register about 4-5 ohms. I think the coil is fine.

Like J-Mech has said, it's probably the points. I would take a slightly different approach though, being basically lazy.

Step one, clean the points. Using a small strip of sandpaper and draw it between the contacts to clean them. Try for a spark again. I've found that's usually all it takes.

If that fails, follow J-Mech's method.
