To pile on, you can get your ignition system about right at starter speed and carbs still off. That should at least let you rule out the transistorized ignition box, the two ballast resistors and the points as being your next problem. At "starter speed", having the timing set to about TDC is close enough to get you ready for really starting the car.
That transistorized ignition box must be grounded. So if there's any signs of corrosion on it or under it, remove it, clean up a little and screw it back down. Fixing it is pretty simple should it die. If you feel the urge to bypass it, do that after the carbs are back on the car is running again (only break one thing at a time).
Also, there are a couple of versions of that box with three basic wiring patterns. Use the right pattern for the box installed. If you get a spare box, ensure it looks like the one you have in every detail.
