If you have spark going into the dist from the coil and none
coming out. I would try a cap and rotor. That is the only thing
that controls where the spark goes. Possible the rotor is
shorting on the shaft.

This may sound kind of funny, but I have had to do it a couple of times with points.. Turn the key to the on postion and then take a screw driver and open the pints with it. It should arch. Put it back together and see if it will start.

If you have a good spark from the coil to distributor it can't be points or condenser. try new cap and rotor

Sound like the rotor is arcing to the shaft like Brian said. I have seen this plenty of times, more so with HEI's.
