If you're getting a spark to the distributor then the coil, hall sender and TCI-H unit must be in working order.

If you've changed the leads, cap (double check the spring loaded carbon centre pin) and arm the only thing that leaves (other than the plugs themselves) is the engine earth strap, goes from back of cylinder head to bulkhead.
