Timing procedure (both first setup and with a running motor) is in the Field Service Manual, which can be downloaded from the FAQ.

If it's not starting, you need to make sure the distributor was properly set up for top dead center (TDC) when it was put in, and that the eccentric shaft pully is properly indexed for TDC.

On some years, it's possible to mount the pulley 4 ways; only one is right.
