You havent mentioned the distributor, it won't spark if thats not right.

looks like new condensor and points in distributor but shoulnt i get spark directlly from the coil?

If you take the centre lead out of the cap & flick the points you should get a spark from the coil lead.

I've got the same thing happening with my '66 too, but it's a 302 with pertronix electronic ignition. I haven't changed the distributor cap and rotor yet. Did you come up with anything to be sure it's not the coil?

The best way to eliminate any suspect part/componant is to try a known good one in it's place.
