Make sure the points are breaking. Are the connections tight at the points?? That the condensor is tight and the wire is not grounded where it attaches to the points. That the wire that goes into the dist. isn't grounded where it enters the housing. Do you have power at the coil?? When you turn it over you should be able to get a test lite to blink as the points open and close. Is the little bare ground wire that is inside the dist. there. If it isn't it won't run. Is the rotor is good shape, how about the dist. cap contacts underneath??

Shouldn't be that hard to find.
