I have heard that it's easy to have the Ignition 180 degrees out or coils wired backwards. I'd confirm those first. Do you have a timing light and how about the advancer. Maybe stuck? Just throwing out ideas. Have you ever had it running?

Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
