As others have said, DO NOT pull that distributor in an attempt to fix this! Previous posters have covered most of the stuff you need to check: EXACT same configuation on the points set, make sure the wire is not touching ground anywhere, check gap on high spot of any lobe, etc. If you can't get the full gap on those points, the points may be defective. Last thing, if you get it gapped right, and still no spark, either spray the points with electric contact cleaner (leaves no residue) or carefully clean the surfaces with a CLEAN paper towel. If the feeler gage had oil on it, you may have coated the points, and that can prevent contact.
