Default new distributor still no spark

hey guys so the dizzy i had in my car had a bad bearing so i got one with a good bearing just bad internals from a buddy and swapped stuff around and i threw that one on but it wouldnt rev abouve 3k it would just bog down. so i messed with the timing a bit and then it wouldnt start at all, so i swapped all the internals back over and still nothing, then i borrowed a good dizzy from a buddy and still nothing, im not getting spark at all on proven to be good dizzy, ive checked all the grounds and fuses, and just cant figure this one out. im stumped, any input would be nice. thanks

Have you checked your main relay? Does the fuel pump prime properly when you click the ignition to "ON"?

Do you smell fuel when you crank it and remove a spark plug?

Last things to check are air and compression
