what about the starter? if the starter has a separate solenoid then the wiring might be off. i agree it sounds like plugs or wires but if it fired before then when you put new parts on then the wires or plugs shouldnt be the issue. have you messed with the distributor or timing?

Take your #1 wire off at the plug, and see if you can see a blue spark .
If not, then you need to adjust your points, or your coil is shot.
