Double check the connections on the coil. You should have 12vdc to the + side of the coil and the trigger wire from the points/condenser to the - side of the coil. If it was reversed and you turned on the key the coil may be toast.
Also check the static timming and double check the firing order. turn the engine to top dead center and pull the valve cover(rt. side) and make sure both valves for #1 cyl. are closed. Then line the rotor(in the dist) up with the #1 plug wire in the cap twist the distributor body untill the points open and the rotor is still lined up. Snug down the dist. clamp and start the car. Warm it up and set the timing with a timing light to 28 deg at full advace (@3000 rpm).
