coils must aling with the base. run your fingernail up and own it must not snag.
that done if you have no spark assuming notoing wrong magnet wise then coil or condensre are suspect.
did use measure/test/ replacethe condensers ??
what ohms do you see on both lower and upper coil s measure secondary Ohms values to compare from boot clip to engine frame frame and report findings. Some coils have 9 kohms some have 4 kohms… if need be install similar coils or swap parts to see if the problem follows the parts . CLEAN CLEAN the points
What compression numbers do you have top and bottom…report findings ! your engine should idle fine ans start at START . is your cam adjusted with the cam follower on the car so it sits on the mark at START
got the bible ?? all you need to know !
