One should NEVER throw new parts at a problem till you know what the problem is or you can and will cause more problems. Simple trouble shooting then parts. First thing to do is pull the distributor cap off and rotor and check the point and make sure when they open and close to both see and hear a spark. I like to do it by hand so that I can hear it.
