Answer 1

Take it to the auto parts store and see if they can test it.

Answer 2

There are two things to look at,

1. check the contact point gap, at least 3mm, when you turn the cam lobe of the distributor shaft at the highest peak part.

2. check the contact point for short circuit.

*Note* Power supply are ok and coil is ok

Answer 3

Did you crank the engine and  you noticed no spark?
