Check the bottom of the cap, rotor, points and condenser, the condenser I would just replace there like $6.
Look for carbon tracking or a bad rotor or pionts.

Unfortunately, it could be almost anything.
Checking all wires (not the spark plug wires) are still connected is a quick cheap check, and next stop would be the ballast resister.

Welcome.

Have you done any diagnosis other than turn the key. Take another plug put the a wire on it, ground it and turn over, if no spark is there voltage to the coil + when cranking?
