Re: trying to start my motor tomorrow! any suggestions?
just make sure its full of oil and stuff... and go for it...if you didnt get the distibuter in right, it wont run, you'll notice it.. also its posible that if it isnt in right it could backfire threw the carb causeing a small fire. so Keep something near b in case of a fire... thats all I can think of

biggest pain in the ass is getting the dizzy to match up with the oil pump while trying to get it pointing at #1 cyl

Prime the engine with oil. An oil priming too is easy to use with a drill. Drop the distributor in. Prime the fuel line twice. Crank it over! It should start by the second crank.
