check for sparkplug firing and if none then check for 12 volts at the Bat terminal on the distributor if you have a voltmeter. You can run a hot wire from the battery positive terminal to the Bat terminal on the distributor and turn the key and try to start the engine. You may have a bad feed wire to the distributor. Since you have changed the cap and rotor and it fired up I'd say it's in the ignition system not fuel or compression.
