anybody in nashville, tn area willing to help start 235

[vintage_car]

I'm stumped and it could be something simple. I'm wanting to see if the 235 I have will even run. It does turn over without problem. I have a strong spark. The truck is ratty and void of all wiring. I have the foot operated starter without a solenoid. I want to covert it to a 12v system so I purchased a 12v coil, which has the negative going to the distributor. The positive I attached to the battery positive for test firing the truck. The firing order is set to 153624 clockwise, new distributor cap, points, condensor, plugs and wires. I rebuilt the rochester carb that was on the engine- it does have a couple issues still but nothing that should prevent starting the engine. I don't need to hear it run very long, just need to ensure it does run before sinking any more money into it. So anyone in the nashville, tn area ( I live about 25 miles north of nashville) willing to help me out on figuring out this puzzle I'd really be appreciative. If there are suggestions anyone can make, I will follow along with whatever other tests people on here can make and report the results.
