Default 1974 450SL - No ignition

Gurus,

Did a quick search, but can't work it out. We replaced the ignition coil, cleaned points and distributor, and replaced resistor. But I am still not getting and electricity to the distributor. ANY IDEAS?!!!

I don't think so, as we cleaned straightened and ensured all the terminal points were making good contact. But I'll go recheck for sure. Any other ideas? we put 5 gallons of fresh Premium in the tank.
