Does it sound normal when cranking (this is good if it does)

Does the dist. turn when cranking (important)

pull #1 plug (toward radiator)and put a chunk of 5/8 heater hose, with a taper ground on the end to seal it, in the hole. crank in spurts, or by rolling it in high gear(ign off)till air pressure comes out the hose. Look at the timing pointer and line up the notch, by continuing turning in that direction till it does.
Look at the rotor in the dist. If it points to #1 plug's terminal, it is close enough to run.

Doing a compression check will assist in finding out if there is major trouble (it should be 110-125 or more)
Let us know what happens.
