No power coming out of coil

Just bought it an drove it home on Fri. 65 SWB, 283, 2bbl, 3 on tree. Rough but I love it. 1/4in of sludge all over engine. Mechanic friend offered to clean up and rebuild carb. I plUgger manifold holes and pressure washed twice using Auto Zone degreaser. Stayed away from dist but didnt cover it. W carb back on and new battery...zero spark coming out of coil wire. (when I first tried starting w new carb and everything dry somehow one plug wire was resting on metal heater box. Looks like it sparked thousand times. But still NOTHING EVER FIRED) Starting fluid etc. Now new plugs, wires and dried out dist cap but there was no moister there. And head lights never worked. Others and blinkers dash etc work. WHAT AM i MISSING??? iLL FIGURE OUT pHOTO bUCKET AGAIN AND POST PICS.
