I'd try and get my hands on a compression gauge.
In the mean time my suggestion is to put the points back on, to rule out your top end, carb etc. since you don't have a compression gauge and we don't know if you have a timing light.
Then, if it works, you'll know it's the cdi. If it doesn't, At least you know it's not the cdi.
You must have a timing light to time cdi - it is not a good idea or nice to have, it is essential.
