I suspect you aren't getting any juice to the coil from the ignition switch. Take the distributor cap off, turn the key on, not to crank, just on. Take a screwdriver and flick around with the points. If the points are open flick the screwdriver blade between the open points. Does the screwdriver blade make sparks? If you see sparks the points are getting juice. If the points are closed push or pry them open with the screwdriver and kind of jiggle the screwdriver blade around while you do it. Sparks? If your finger is touching the metal shank of the screwdriver you will KNOW if there is spark or not before you see sparks. LOL If you don't get sparks there isn't any juice getting to the points because no juice is getting to the distributor or the condenser is dead shorted. A brand new one can be bad. If the points do spark hold the end of the secondary wire, the big one that comes out of the coil, close to metal and see if you get spark while you're flicking the points around with the screwdriver. No spark? Coil MIGHT be bad. If the coil wire is sparking you should be able to hold it a long ways, maybe 3/4 of an inch and see the spark jump.
