Any time the distributor gets out of whack, you can usually
start it if you have an assistant or an underbonnet starter.
Crank the car, and slowly rotate the distributor until
the car starts, then you can fine-tune it a bit until it
runs smooth, then get out the timing light.
(many people just time this way, twist until it runs
smooth, tighten the punch-bolt. Not for me, thanks)
