Make sure the points are "opening" and "closing" as the distributor goes rounds as you turn the engine by hand. If they dont FULLY open and then COMPLETELY close it will not run. I dont know all the terms but I think its the "dwell" or duration they stay closed or open. Like I said make sure they are doing that.
You can even put a test meter on the wire that goes to the distributor and it should get V+ on and off as the distributor spins.
I had this problem and it was just barely out of adjustment by fraction of a hair. It drove me crazy for a whole afternoon till I figured it out. I guess someone more familiar with breaker point ignition troubleshooting would not have that probglem.
Hope that helps
