Spark I bet you.
Check for spark firstly at the lead going from the coil to the distributor.

If that's go spark grab number one and see if it's sparking.

Completely nothing you've got a problem (probably roasted the points)
Weak check timing
Heaps of sparks and you've zapped your mate some other issue.

Try the above and report.

Brains trust will sus.

if timing is too far retarded , it will try start , but not. Your plug leads might be right , but dizzy is opening on wrong lobe
Getting too old for this s*#t!!
