ACCEPTED
If you are by chance installing used parts, there is a very good possibility that they hmay have simimiar faults to the old parts you are replacing; if you can get a used distributor from an engine you can hear run that would be a good one; otherwise I would be suspect of used ignition components on this particular car; failures were very common. If there is power and ground to the distributor, it should produce spark; the ignition system is pretty much self contained in there.
Are you sure the distributor is turning? take the cap off and watch; a broken drive gear or cam is a possibility, although remote.
