Re: doesn't want to crank over

firing order correct? and are you pulling the EST wire when setting timing?

Anything else done to the motor that may affect it?

Your timing is advanced much too far when it won't turn over.

Re: doesn't want to crank over

Bring the engine to #1 TDC firing first.

Then you can install the distributor, put the #1 plug wire on whichever terminal on the cap that the rotor is pointing at, and put the rest of the wires on in order from there.

Or, you can use a long flat screwdriver to turn the oil pump drive shaft until it lets you put the distributor in so that it's aligned with the terminal on the cap that you want to be #1.
