I have new points, cap and coil but did not want to complicate things more.
Did you check to see that the wires are seated properly? What may have happend is the lead fromthe coil to the distributor worked it's way loose. Press them into plase. You may need to "burp" the trapped air out of the boots to get them fully seated on the distributor and coil.
