I had a similar problem on my NAA a couple of years ago. I hadn't gotten the distributor reinstalled correctly and the timing was off. Below is how I finally got it installed correctly. Bring #1 Cylinder (one closest to fan) to Top Dead Center - TDC, (piston at top - I actually checked this with a piece of wire stuck down on top of the cylinder through the spark plug hole and turned slowly by hand), flywheel will be at 0 degrees in site window on bell housing. Point rotor to #1 spot (just to the left of the distributor clamp) and install distributor, ensuring the oil pump gear is lined up in bottom. Turn distributor counter clockwise until points are just beginning to break. Ensure that rotor is still pointing to where #1 wire will plug into distributor. If not, it may be off a tooth on the gear. If so pull out turn and reinstall. If it doesn’t crank, while distributor is in, move #1 to TDC, check flywheel to make sure on 0 then take off the cap and see if the rotor is pointing at #1. If not, you may need to pull out and move a tooth and reinstall. Once it cranks, adjust timing, most likely will need to advance since it should be set at 8 degrees at 450 rpm or less and you are starting at 0.
