You need to do as one poster suggested, make sure your distributor has not sheared a pin or taken some teeth out. You have to establish that you are getting that spark to the cyl at the proper time, pull number one spark plug, put your finger over the hole and crank by hand until you feel compression. Then align the timing mark, will be two close together, five degrees apart, first one is tdc. Now your points should be just opening in their normal direction of rotation of the distributor. Until you establish this you are just guessing. The reason you see spark at the points when cranking with dist cap off is the secondary in coil is building high voltage against an open circuit, therefore the voltage in primary winding builds higher than normal and arcs at the points. There are as many different ways to check for a good spark as there are people doing it. It sounds like you have spark but at wrong time.

Keep trying, you will get it but be very careful around the carburetor and using various fluids.
