Ryanb790-
Just as Automarc said,and thats the way ive always done it.(I hate scraping cork gaskets)
1-5-3-6-2-4 clockwise rotation. If youre getting fuel,and spark,it should start. If you moved the distributor around while you were having probs.,,first get the firing order right and THEN you can dial it in to get it started.
Good Luck,
