better find out if its a gas or electrial problem first. you say u heard the points click when u opened them so it has spark. hold the coil wire out of coil 1/2 " and you will see the spark jump. when you open the points. you can put all those parts on it but that dont mean it will run. hope i can have all those plugs u took out. remove the plug at bottom of carb and see if you have a good flow of gas running out. check everything starting from the sediment bowl down. many time the sediment bowl top part will be corroded with junk. remove it from tank and blow it all out with air. i have this problem many times. many times had to soak in carb cleaner from the old gas corrossion. blow air through the gas line also check the filter at carb inlet. seen them plugged many times. its either gas or spark problem. i would even try the condenser before anything else. dont matter how bad the plugs are it will start. same with points they can be filed and never will completely let you down. same with the cap , same with the wires. so that leaves the coil or condenser, which i would say is the first thing to change.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
