    Are you sure you are on number one? Pour a bottle cap of gas into the carb, and try to start it.

    Do you have at least 9 volts to the coil when the ignition is on?

    Have you tried turning the distributor while someone cranks it. Just setting it at tdc may not get it to start. Is this a fresh rebuild?
