Did you check the firing order, camshaft timing, valve clearances? Does
the distributor shaft turn when the engine is turning over?
Check the bypass wiring of the ballast resistor. Check the correct
wiring of the coil, you would not be te first to have the polarity wrong.
The compression on a freshly rebuild engine is lower than on an engine
that has been properly run in. It also depends on the tolerances and
surface finishes used in the rebuild. Assuming that it is a proper
rebuild the compression should not be an issue here. Whatever the
compression the engine should start.
Timing and fuel cannot be spot on as the engine is not running and fine
tuning of mixture and ignition should be made on a running engine. It
is however not an issue either as you set ignition initially statically
as you do with the adjustment of the carbs and it should at least run on
that.
Are the spark plugs wet or dry after churning? Try spraying some easy
start fluid (mainly Aether) into the throat of the carbs during turning
over and see if you get some life. If so it is a fuel issue.
Good luck.
