Do you have a haynes manual?
If not get one..

Sounds to me like you need to go back to basics and check that the distributor drive is in the correct postion at TDC, then refit the electronic dizzy.. the points one is useless.. recheck you have the ignition leads in the correct position and that fuel is geting through..

Ceck that you have plugged everything back in and is in the correct position..

Oh and worth filling out a location in your profile as there maybe someone close to you that can assist..
