New doesn't count any more. I've put NEW in cars that were running and had to put the old back in to get them to crank. So at least check them.
Was the lose end on the radio capacitor laying where it could have grounded out the coil (+) wire? AND, if it was lose enough to fall off, how tight was the other wires? Lose enough for NO crank or weak spark?
Check out ignition components thoroughly; coil connections, points, etc.. Then charge battery and start over.
Look into 'IGN 2' function while you're at it, it's the 12 volts for cranking and can come from switch or starter depending on car.
