I got it running. The timing was definitely off. After a couple of gunshot backfires and shocking myself a couple of times, I figured it out. I pulled plug #1 and found TDC on the compression stroke. Then, with the plug out, I rotated the cap until I got spark with the number one spark plug. I had to adjust the backing plate on the distributer to where I could adjust it. I must have been off a couple of teeth when putting my oil pump back in.
It still idles a little rough, so I will make some adjustments this weekend using a timing light and a vacuum gauge.
Thank you all for your help....Time for a beer!
