Tanner, Sorry to hear the H is still not running. Let's start at your square one. Unhook the primary wires coming from your spark plugs to the distributor. With the cap lined up on the distributor, mark the location of the #1 post of the cap where it lines up to the outside of the distributor body with a file making a small groove in the distributor housing body. Now remove the distributor cap and set it aside. Remove the front most plug and maybe sweet talk your wife into slowly turning the handcrank while you have your finger over the plug hole. When you start to feel air coming out of the hole past your finger, have her stop turning. You can now turn the crank yourself just to where the first of the double marks on the crank pulley lines up with the pointer. Number 1 is now at TDC on compression stroke.
Now look at where the metal contact of the rotor of the distributor is lined up. It should be at about the 2 o'clock position and lined up with that file mark you put on the distributor housing. If not, unbolt the distributor, pull it out far enough to manually turn the rotor until the contact of the rotor lines up with that file mark on the housing. You may have to do this a couple of times to get the contact of the rotor to line up with the filed mark.
Now, snug up the disributor mounting bolts. Make sure the rotor is seated on the distributor shaft (You should not be able to turn the rotor at this point), install the distributor cap with the number 1 (if so marked on the cap) lined up with the file mark you made earlier. Snap the fasteners into place on the cap. Next re-install the Number 1 plug and wire it to the number 1 position on the cap. Going clockwise on the cap, next install the wire from #3 plug to the next post on the cap (Remember- clockwise), next wire from #4 plug to the next post on the cap and finally the wire from #2 plug to the last post on the cap. Attach the coil wire to the center post on the cap. Make a final check around engine for loose tools, remove the hand crank and try the starter. It should run but if not, post back for more help.
