Have you confirmed that your ballast resistor is good?

"Have you confirmed that your ballast resistor is good?"

Along with that thought..........try jumping a wire direct from your battery to the coil after disconnecting the coil primary wire. If it does start look for primary voltage issues in the line feeding the coil from ignition switch thru bulkhead connector thru ballast resistor & connecting wires/connections.Suspect every new ignition part you have installed as quality issues seem to be common day

If you are confident that you are getting "enough" voltage at the coil and you have "good" gas discharged from the carb my next move would be to pull the valve cover and observe valve train movement. See where the rotor is pointed after #1 valves are in the right position. You are looking for your distributor timing to not be out by 180 degrees and/or that the valve movement is not effected by a chain issue such that #1 valves are not opening & closing properly relative to the crank position (timing mark).
