24 volt coil testing

Howdy list,
Anyone know how to test a 24 volt coil and capacitor on a 71' M151A2?
My nephew apparently got in the mutt and turned on the ignition switch, and it stayed on for about 8
hours before I noticed it. The outer distributor was hot as a firecracker, and now it won't start. I
pulled the spark plug and held the wire up to the block while the starter was cranked and there was
no spark at all. I'm afraid the coil or capacitor is fried.
TIA,
Dr. Mike
