I am hoping someone can talk me through a starting problem with my 1930 Swallow saloon.

I charged the battery and went to start my normally reliable Seven engine today and I could not get a spark. I don't know what is wrong but the points on the DS4 distributor got very hot.  In fact I burned my finger on them.  Could I have a faulty coil? or would it be a condenser? Or something else?

I have a multimeter but I don't know what settings to use to test the coil etc.

Ray.
