Default does this sound like the coil in dizzy?

well my car hasnt been running for awhile now coming on 2 weeks. i made a few post but here goes.

I just pulled the coil out and it has dust on it. The dizzy cap has that niple on a spring i call it that goies inside ur coil. well inside the coil where it goes has black dust in it. I have spark to my plugs tho and fuel timing all of that just i think the spark is weak and wont ignite the fuel..that comes down the the only other explanation beside my dizzy isnt working and its only 8 mo old..anyone else know?

Well turns out my cap..the nipple that enters the coil was gone and melted..so i got a new one BUT car ran from about 10 min and gone...well the cap was fine but i think my coil is shot because the last cap didnt have that piece so the coil had to jump the spark really far and melted some of the coil cause it was too hot of a spark...hope its the coil
