It"s got no fire at the points when I open them with the key on and no fire at the plug wires when I crank it over. There"s fire from the coil wire when I crank. When it died it just killed as if I'd turned the key off. There was no sputter...it just stopped.

Inspect the distributor and the rotor for "carbon tracking", which would indicate a crack.
