ok, some good advice has already been posted here. An engine needs 4 things to run: fuel, air, spark, compression

The only thing I am going to do is put it in order like a check list:

1.) Make sure valves are set at correct, COLD lash.

2.) Set timing manually. As already indicated, get #1 TDC for the compression stroke. As indicated, install distributor firing at #1.

3.) Make sure plugs and points are properly gapped.

4.) Wires should be copper core, with bright, clean connections. Firing order 1,3,4,2, going clockwise from #1 post which is at approximately 2 o'clock on the cap.

5.) Turn on fuel, and make sure carb is getting plenty of fuel flow.

6.) Iidle air adjustment should be closed tight, then out 1 1/2 turns. Main jet, same, bottom out then at least 2 to 3 turns out.

7.) Air cleaner should be clear and clean. Fresh oil.

8.) Open and consume beverage of your choice, review and recheck previous 7 steps.

7.) start it. Consume 2nd beverage whiling enjoying the sound of your Grandpa's running tractor.
