You don't say if you're going to put a magneto or a battery distributor back on, but in either case, you can do some fiddlin' and set the governor/igntion drive gear up.
Assuming you've got the cam gear timed up to the crank, with the motor at TDC on compression on #1 (use the mark on the flywheel, especially with a mag, which doesn't give you as much back and forth adjustment play that a battery distributor does), set the governor gear so that the slot and lug line up between the gear and the back of the mag/distributor when the rotor button under the distributor cap is set (or cocked for a mag) on #1. It will usually be close to 10 o'clock and 4, though I can never (dammit!) remember on which end, so it may look like 2 and 8. To get around my own embarrassing confusion, set your mag or distributor first to get the general orientation, then adjust the gear to match it. You'll need to be close with a mag, but this will certainly get you within range for a battery distributor.
