2 things..

Did you clean the surface of the points before putting them in? They have an anticorrosion coating on them from the factory and that needs to be rubbed off otherwise it gives you weird and irregular conductivity - the way I clean the coating off is by opening the points and then clamping the 2 sides of the contacts on your sleeve or suchlike and rub them vigorously back and forth 10-20 times..

If you have done that then recheck the points gap and make sure you have put a very thin smear of grease on the points cam to lubricate the rubbing block

have you checked that there is spark at the end of the coil lead?

is there any spark at any of the spark plugs

was it runing after you did the points etc

check that you points gap still set right could have moved

what condition is the inside of the dizzy cap in all the contacts good
