We reconnected a couple of wires where they attach to the switch and where they attach to the coil. That's about it.

You will also want to be sure your cable going into the distributor is screwed in "far enough" but not "too far". Too far and it will ground out inside the distributor and you get no spark.

Do you have a little test light that clips to a ground, that you can probe around and touch various wires? Those can really help you diagnose electrical problems. Insert a piece of paper in the ignition points, so that they do not make a connection, and start looking at where you have power with the key off and on.
