You need to pull the coil wire from the distr. cap
and hold it within 1/4" of a good ground. Then have someone to attempt an engine start while you
hold that coil wire. You may want to use a pair of insulated pliers. This should be a very hot spark. Is this a 12 volt ignition system with
a ballast resistor between the ignition switch and the coil?

For the fuel problem I would hold a hand over the carburetor throat and see if there's any suction.
You need a good manifold vacuum to pull that atomized fuel into the engine. Was the engine rebuilt? A good fit with the rings and cylinders
is what creates this vacuum. When you had No1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke were both valves closed? Hal
