I changed the rotor, distributor, coil and condenser. There is power but no spark. It ran for a while but after I parked it it wouldn't start again.

WHAT ABOUT "ABOUT" 2 TEASPOONS OF GAS DUMPED INTO THE CARB (OR A TWO SECOND BURST OF STARTER FLUID)
DOES IT TRY TO START/ SPIT AND COUGH MORE THAN IT DID?
ABOVE
YOU SAID "DISTRIBUTOR"
DID YOU MEAN THE CAP OR THE UNIT?
HAVE YOU MOVED OR REMOVED THE DISTRIBUTOR AFTER IT WAS RUNNING?

You replaced the entire distributor and you still have no spark? Was that a new or used one? Do you have the red 12 volt wire plugged in? Check that for 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned on.
Why didn't you list the engine size and mileage?
