GAP is CRAP. Set points by DWELL, always. And you have a dwell meter; although there's no guarantee that it's accurate.
"New" GM-style external-adjustment point sets are nearly always close to perfectly pre-set right out of the box. Don't dick with 'em until after the engine is running.

Do you have spark at the coil wire?
Is the coil + powered with the key turned to "Run"? You'll have battery voltage, or you'll have ~6--8 volts, depending on whether the points are open or closed.
Did you put the rotor back on?
