 Things to consider:

Do you hear the 2 relay clicks when you get in the car and turn the key ON?

Do you hear the fuel pump run between those 2 clicks?

With the key ON, go to the engine compartment and push the throttle open. Do 
you hear a series of clicks as the throttle goes open?

Get a friend to crank the engine with the starter while you check the dwell. 

Remove the 3-pin connector from the side of the dizzy and put an Ohmmeter 
between the center pin and one of the side pins on the dizzy. Get a friend to 
turn the engine over with the starter. Do you see the needle bouncing between 
zero and infinity? Check both sides.

The correct answer to each question should be yes. Run down this list and stop 
as soon as you run into a "no."
