The timing is set the same for all engines, a timing light set up on number one plug shining on the timing mark that you do not have. As far as the distributors you have one of two scenarios, either the oil pump was put in wrong, which is the most likely cause if the engine was apart. Or if the engine was not taken apart then the dog on the bottom of the distributor shaft was installed 180 degrees out. I have a bunch of those distributors with the gear installed wrong. You would have to know out the pin, build a jig to hold it in the right position as per the manual, and redrill the gear and shaft together at 90 degrees from the original. You want to check the position of the pump drive before changing the drive on the distributor to make sure it is in the right or wrong position.
