You mention everything except the points. The points need to open and close in order for spark to go out the spark plug wires. So when you take the coil wire (center wire) out of the distributor cap and put it close to the block and you are not getting spark then my guess its the points. You have already replaced everything else. Do you have gauge to check the gap of the points? If you have a dwell meter you can check it with that also. I assume you have power to the coil? You may need to take a finger nail file and clean the points if it has been sitting for so long because they may be corroded. Most likely your problem is inside the distributor and not what's on the outside. . The condenser is what you replaced on the back of the distributor. Welcome to the site
