New Dist Cap, Rotor, Bushing... Now No Start 74 T/A

[MART60]

After replacing about 35 parts on the 74 455 that sat for 32 years, I took it down the lane to get the mail for 2 days & it ran Great.
But I can never leave well enough alone.
Put on New GM plug wires, dist cap, rotor, brush and seal...Now has Weak Spark and Just Cranks.
Just ordered the tach clip that's missing.
Put the old rotor, brush & seal back on & no change. Strange!!
Thanks One and All,
Mart

Have you replaced the coil?

No, but I don't see how the Coil that worked Great 15 minutes earlier could have gone bad just by replacing the Cap, rotor, brush & seal.
I have it set right on TDC now...go from there.
Thanks Kightrider.

Top dead center was pointing toward 8, so just
to see I moved 1 to 8, etc...Still just cranks.
