Make sure battery has a full charge and connections good. Take coil wire loose from distributor, hold close to engine ground, have a helper crank it, should be a good snapping spark, if so the problem has to be with distributor. The cap and rotor were installed correctly? Engine cranking, the rotor turns? At the moment, I can't think of anything else?
