If the dist secondary coil wire (dist end) held 1/4" from ground sparks w the key is turned to "start" you're in real good shape. What Mark said the dist is only out of time. Turn the crank till the timing marks are at 10BTDC #1 compression/turn dist housing till the magnet is dead even w the nearest tooth with the rotor under or near under the #1 cap terminal and the vac adv housing has room to be turned either way. moderately snug the dist clamp/hookup the light. Pull the dr valve cover & see that #1 cyl rocker arms are free to make sure your marks are on #1 compression rather than #6. Forgot some details but if you are dot to dot (6/12 o'clock) on a breakin you'd want the rotor under #6 plug wire (and #6 rocker arms on the pass side are loose)
