Did it run before,without the distributor being pulled?And, as old has said, do you have good spark at the plug wire plug end? Also you can ground a plug to the block to see if it is firing between the electrodes.And you can spark time it,with the engine at TDC on no.1 cyl,with key on,pull no.1 plug wire off the plug,and turn the distributor cap til it sparks.That is when your points have opened,and rotor button should be pointing to no.1.To be sure you are on no.1 TDC compression stroke,pull no.1 plug,and hold your thumb over the hole while a helper rotates the engine, by hand preferably,and when you feel compression push your thumb out,you should be close to TDC,and your timing pointer should be on or near TDC(go ahead and line it up),and your rotor should point to no.1.If it is not in time you will need to pull the distributor;if weak or no spark you need to address that.If it tries to fire you may have flooded it pouring too much gas in the cylinders.If the carb jets are stopped up,you won't get gas to the cylinders,or if you have intake manifold leaks either.Mark
