'69 Dart Custom - Not Sparking

Turns out it was a problem inside the distributor. The connection point/contact that makes and breaks the circuit was corroded and so there was no power being provided to the spark plugs. Used the rigged sides of a flathead screwdriver to shave/clean off the corrosion from both sides of the connection (and another flathead to hold the contacts apart).

P.P.S. I didn't end up using my makeshift coil-to-ground connection. All worked fine with the connections the way @67Dart273 clarified. Thanks!
