Do away with whatever BS aftermarket ignition components you put on it.

File the points and time it. Make sure the coil is getting 12V to the + side with the key on.

Using a test light, attach it to ground, then put the pointed end on the - side of the coil and crank the engine. It should flash. If not, you have an issue with the points, the wire to the points from the coil or a bad coil. Could possibly be a bad condenser, but not likely.

If the light does flash, but you have no spark, then either the coil is bad, plug or plug wire. Make sure you ground the plug good while testing. DO NOT ground it near the spark plug hole, or the the fuel system.

If you find you really do have spark and it still won't run..... then you have a fuel supply problem.
