Ford Galaxie Carburetor Problem

Car started running rough and stalling. Finally had to tow home. I Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, condensor, coil, rebuilt carburetor. Starter is good. Engine will not fire. It sounds like it wants to, but it just wont fire. What else could be wrong?

Make sure the points are properly set. Make sure it is getting enough gas to start. (will it start with starting fluid?) If not, check timing and spark.
