Ingition/Distributor issues...short circuit??? 120-130

I bought and limped home a 67 wagon, and it sat for while (3 months), replaced some things, and now I DONT get a spark at the plugs, and only a weak spark from the coil. My guess is an ignition system short somewhere caused by me. It will need to be timed and carb adjusted, etc. before I can drive it, but at this point A GOOD SPARK AT THE PLUGS is what I am after!
I have replaced:

battery (good brand, Les Schwab)
coil (generic)
cap/rotor/points/condensor/wires (upgrade) and plugs (all IPD)

Somewhere along they way I think I screwed it up. I chekced to see if the points spring was touching the dist. body, and thought I got all the felt washers back on right...does anyone know the correct order of the washers/spring points/condensor assembly?
Any other hints/diagnostics I should check out?

I still have the original coil (the "armored cable" one), and all the bits and peices that were on the car, if anyone thinks I sould test something out...

THANKS!!!
Brian
