Keith,
You said "or 2) a rectangular piece of porcelin"
This is the coil ballast resistor and may be defective. You can bypass it with a jumper wire to test it. If the car starts, shut if off and replace the ballast. Don't run it for long without the ballast or you'll risk damaging your points and/or the coil.
