Yes. You need a factory service manual.

This sounds like a possible electrical issue involving ballast resistor. Did the engine run while key was turned to start, and when in “run” position engine stopped? Check continuity of the ceramic ballast resistor, if it passes electricity it is good, if not replace it.

Also check that none of the wires leading to distributor & coil have been pinched.

Even if valve lash is off a bit these engines will run.
