Car has electronic ignition, so no points. Car does turn over, so assuming ignition switch is okay. Will check power to coil later today when I get home. Thank you for the response.

Sorry for the delay. We installed a new key switch and ignition switch ( it didn't feel right when turning on, thought it might be bad). Car runs as long as we hold the ignition key in the start positiion. As soon as key is released, car shuts off.
