Distributor position and cranking

Well, it could just be that the timing is retarded a long way. Try pulling
the dizzy (with the cap off) out just far enough to disengage the gear.
When the gear is free, turn the rotor clockwise a little bit, and ease the
dizzy back in. You should be able to feel/see from the rotor position, when
it has moved forward one tooth. Plug it back in and try starting.

Once the engine is idling, check the timing with a light. Worst case, if you
can't get enough adjustment by turning the dizzy, you may need to
advance it one more tooth.
