Here's the Instructions for start up on my crate motor:

Start the engine and adjust the initial timing. Set the ignition timing to 15° before top dead center (BTDC) and
the engine idle to 950 RPM (ZZ572/620) or 1200 RPM (ZZ572/720R) with a timing light and the vacuum disconnected
and plugged. Rotate the distributor counterclockwise to advance the timing. Rotate the distributor
clockwise to retard the timing. Leave the vacuum advance disconnected

Here's a photo of that motor taken when I unwrapped it in the shipping crate. Unless I'm completely delusional that looks suspiciously like a distributor with 8 plug wires all neatly connected and loomed. But , of course I could be just dreaming and none of that stuff actually arrived in my Garage!

Isn't that a lovely sight? It looks even better with a truck wrapped around it!

Guilty of only one thing.
With some people you need to be very specific what you write.
I failed on that!
He didn't get a dizzy, but you did.
You get a roller cam in that little motor?
