Glad you asked where to start. If the car restarts fine then most likely the ignition is OK. Remove a plug and see if it is fouled, the insulator should be a white or tan color and there should be no blackness anywhere. Fouled plugs can make hard starting but OK to restart in a short time.

Points need replacement if the "point" of the points are pitted or "crested"

Remove the air cleaner from the carb with the choke open and look down the throat. Using the accelerator linkage "pump" the gas and see if you see gas being squirted into the throat.
