Ok so I am relatively new to automobile electrical and my car 914 won't start. This is what I get:

with the ignition on, when I manually open the points I can get the coil to spark.

When I open the points by using the starter to turn the engine over I get no spark from the coil

The car is a '71 914-4 1.7 that has sat for 8 years but ran when it was parked

Any ideas would be appreciated
