If she is running lean perhaps it is a fuel delivery problem before the carb too...filter or pump?
If you can't find parts out there is a classic car parts company out here I can check for a carb or rebukild kit for you.

You dont give us much to go on.
What was it going like before you changed the dizzy? Remove the pipe from the carb. Crank her over and see if you get fuel. Is there enough? Remove the pick up pipe from the tank. Make sure its filter is clean. (is the pick up pipe rusted through or the solder cracked) Use a vacuum / pressure gauge on the pump. It should deliver about 2 to 2 1/2 lbs of pressure (delivery) and should hold a vacuum of about 15 (inches of mercury) (suction side) Make sure there are no air leaks anywhere on the suction side of the pump. The easiest way is to connect an alternative line to the pump. Note; fuel change over taps are notorious for leaking air. If all of that checks out then maybe you have a carb problem, but I would still think about the dizzy. Even new condensors can be faulty.

Might be bad gasoline if it's been awhile since you ran it and didn't have fuel stabilizer mixed in. The old gasoline might have the carburetor passages gunked up now so you can't get proper flow when you accelerate but have enough to idle. Lots of other things could be factors but would need to know more details. Was everything working properly the last time you really drove around prior to parking it? If so, that would pretty much eliminate things like timing, spark plugs, wiring, etc unless you or someone else messed with them during the down time and changed something.
Anyway, could be as simple as spraying some carb cleaner into all of the passages after taking it off the engine and removing the top cover. Let it soak a bit and then spray it out again. Dump your old gasoline and start fresh. Might be everything would work fine again. I'd go that route before doing a carburetor rebuild or even changing any settings on the body assuming it used to work as is.
