I finally got the ignition and fuel pump hooked up on my 76 2.0 L and the engine cycles between reving and stalling when I hold the pedal down to get a fast idle. What do I need to be checking now?

Double check your ignition wires on the coil as well as the rest of your spark plug wiring. If the wires on the coil are swapped your car will run like crap. A shop did that on my 75 years ago. Eventually fried the ECU before I figured out the problem.

the points go to the negative of the coil and the condenser and +12V to the positive side?
