1974 Scamp some assembly required

Got everything hooked up yesterday for test fire. Late in the afternoon gave it a try. Nothing, nada. Turns over but not one single pop spit sputter. Did some checks, everything looks o.k. I think. Had me scratchin my *** a little. Then I was laying in bed thinking about it and it dawned on me. Before I put the distributor in I torqued the harmonic balancer bolt. Spun around a little. Tried to back it up and the timing gear backed up and out. So I ran it all the way around back to TDC. Timing gear back down, all good, pointed at no 1. Then dropped the distributor in. Rotor on number 1. Duh.
Any 2nd attempt after the timing issue was solved? I dont know how you slept a wink without getting it to start lol.
