SC, has distributor, no Mag. Have back together with static timing to point to #1. NOW, what do I do for timing marks, since this is not orig type of set-up? Just go by EAR? I'm also going to be needing a resistor for the points according to the coil I have on it. It's 12 volt. Anything special for brand or # needed?

I would get a coil that does not require a resistor to simplify the wiring. If you have a decent parts store in your town they should be able to work with you to find one. I don't recall the number of mine, it was about 2 years ago or more, but it was in stock at Advance Auto Parts, around $20.00

Good luck.

I think it should fire with the No. 1 piston on the compression stroke and 1/2 inch before top dead center. You can pull the spark plug out and stick something in there to check the piston position. The best test as to whether it is timed correctly is to test it to see how well it pulls. I think the old Chrysler ceramic type resister will work. I assume that you also have a 12 v. battery.

One way is to time it with a vacuum gauge. You advance timing to get the max vacuum at idle. (If you get audible pinging under load back off a little). It may also make it harder to start so again back off a little if that happens.
