Not firing at all? I'd pull the cap and have someone crank it over to ensure the distributor shaft is turning. If that's ok, then I'd re-check the points, condenser, and also check the coil.
Let us know how it goes,

Try cleaning the new points, sometimes they have an oil film when new and will not make contact until the oil is removed. I have used a small clean rag dampened with alcohol and pulled between the contacts while they are closed. This usually works for me on non-firing new points.

Ran poorly before you changed parts now no run. You did not list which parts you changed but you can bet it does not fire because of something you did. You'll have to back track thru each thing you did. Throwing lots of new parts at a problem will never let you learn what was wrong with what. Try step by step troubleshooting as listed in the manual. It will be cheaper in the long run.
