Bart,
Recheck the set on the distrib, re-gap your points, check the basics like cap, rotor...If you did not change plugs, do so...when I was trying to start mine, the middle of the plugs had corroded. They looked great on the outside, but I broke the top off one taking it out and found out the plugs were junk. I would have never got them to spark.
Like listed above...just go back over the basics....
