First of all, I would be concerned where the original screw for the points ended up. It could have fallen to a harmless spot -- or not (i.e. inside the distributor). The fact that the distributor was moved before you replaced the rotor should be no problem. The rotor can only be installed one way due to a slot in the top of the distributor shaft. In my experience the condenser is almost impossible to replace without removing the whole distributor which is not that difficult. However, your splice in the electrical wire could be problematic later if it loosens up. Sounds like you may not have set the point gap properly. If this is off, the engine will crank but not start.
