Timing was 180 out ... Maybe?! These are a funny one. They have two tdc where #1 will pop the tissue out the spark plug hole when you crank. I'll probably look at that again now I think about it. When I've got it wrong in the past the motor will backfire heaps. It wasn't backfiring before or after I moved the dizzy. Previous owner had both neg and pos from distributor going to the negative on the coil?! It's so far away from sounding like it is firing I wondered if there was even spark. It definitely has spark at #2. Plugs are near new but look to have been super rich when it was last running. He said carby was overhauled. Acell pump on carbie works perfectly with two nice Big streams of fuel when you twist throttle arm

Will check for the two 308 castings on either side of block. I did notice that on an early red motor it was just the one side xx7
