Could be a couple or more things. One biggie is forgetting to put the rotor back in. Points not opening or not closing. If the condenser shorts out it is like having the switch off and will not spark to the plugs.
I found a distributor one time that the mounting plate for the points and been painted and would not spark because the stationary side of the points was not grounded.
 
Did you just change points ?

Along with what DickL said, look to make sure that the lead from the coil or the condenser wire terminals are not touching the (points) mounting plate. If they are, it"s a dead short.
