The way it was, the guy said he had tried ether to get it running, hoping that the fuel pump would creat enough pressure that way to unstick the needle or whatever the problem was there. Thing is he said that even with the ether he couldn't get it to fire. Like I said, I pulled the plug on number 1 and put the engine as close to TDC on one as I could get it without raising the cab and looking for the timing marks, and then looked at where the rotor button was pointed. It matched up with what the book said about number one being in line with the notch in the cap. From there I reran the wires from the cap in their right places and she fired right up and put on her little flame show. As far as what the guy did, if you'd have seen where it was setting, it had to be running to get there, and he only ran it once since he bought it, so it had to be running pretty good for him to fork over the money to buy it. That said, you can usually get a good idea when someone is BSing you from their whole outlook on the repair, cost, etc, and I think this guy was pretty much on the level with me....or at least threw up no red flags given that what I was seeing matched up with what he said he had or hadn't done.
