Still no  fire, even after
a can of starting fluid.  The entire ignition system  looks brand new
(points, condenser, rotor, cap, wires and plugs).  I'm  really limited in
diagnostic equipment and skill so can anyone offer any  advise?

Look for spark - Since it uses points, just pull the coil wire out of the  
cap and hold it near (real near) a ground. Crank it and look for a jumping spark 
 to ground. If no spark, start with Bob's note of cleaning the points. -  Seth
