OK, sounds like it is time to check for wierd stuff. Do you have a tach? If so unplug it from the coil and try it. I have seen a tach or tach wire shorted to ground keep a coil from firing. If no joy is found there then get a wire long enought to go from the Battery to the + side of the coil and swap the original 12v wire to the coil with a temp wire from the battery. If the wire in the harness is almost open it will show 12vdc at the coil but will not carry any current and will have a bad voltage drop. When to try it make sure that ONLY the new +12vdc wire and the - wire from the condenser are connected to the coil. I once boght a cap and rotor and eithe the cap was too tall or the rotor was too short and it (my 73) wouldn't run, it took me a while to figure that one out so check that. If your old set of plug wires were working before this go back to them (sometimes new dosn't = good).
