Remember me, we chatted prior to making your purchase. Since we don't know much history on this engine, lets just make in run and go from there. Forget about the timing marks. Remove the valve cover and the distributor cover. Rotate the engine (direction of normal running/cranking) and verify that ALL valves are moving. Bring no. 1 cylinder up on the compression stroke. Shake both exhaust and intake rockers to see that they are off the cam and thus have clearance. Verify that the no. 1 wire from the distributor is on the plug in no. 1. Look to see if the distributor rotor button is lined up with the no. 1 location on the distributor cap. If it is not pull the distributor and reinstall it until it does. The distributor will initially have to be started back into the hole a little off from the desired final location as the gear will cause a small amount of rotation of the distributor as it seats. Leave the distributor locking tab loose so that you can rotate(advance and/or retard) the distributor as you crank the engine. It should run. Good luck, owning this green beast you will need it.
