One method to check the circuit:
Run the voltmeter lead from the points side of the coil to the ground 
side of the battery.
As long as you have battery voltage at that point, the points circuit it 
open.
You could then run a jumper from ground and use it to probe various 
locations in the circuit to find the break.
(You could even probe the points side of the coil just to confirm what 
it will read when the points circuit actually completes!)

happy hunting!
