Install the distributor so that the rotor is pointing to the #1 plug wire.
The wires should be clockwise 1-5-3-6-2-4.
The engine should start with a #1 cylinder/plug firing at TDC setting.
I also have a vacuum gauge connected to the intake-to-wiper vacuum line (if you have that port under the carburetor). When the engine starts, you will want to adjust timing and carburetor-mixture to obtain maximum vacuum (these are not perfect settings, but the engine should run smoothly). You might have an electric wiper, and might not have a vacuum port?
