Need to set the dwell too. On the 235 distributors it is really easy to turn the wire that attaches to the points just enough so it grounds out. Always replace the condenser too. Did you replace the dist. cap and is the wire between the cap and coil good? Basically the coil stores energy and the points trigger the release. Also check wire from coil to dist. for grounding outside and inside the dist.
