New wires and distributor... no start

Update:

Thought the coil may have gone bad, it's about 100 years old and looks like hell. Pulled the old coil and installed the new one. Went to start car and all I got was a click. That could only mean one thing: dead battery. It's four years old and definitely ready for a replacement.

Pulled the battery and it's on the charger now. Once it's charged up I'll head back down and try again.
