Remember that the piston rises to the top of the cylinder twice per cycle. Make sure that you've aligned your TDC mark on your crank timing index with the top of your compression stroke of the #1. If you don't you'll be on the exhaust side and your timing will be AFU (180 out). If you're getting spark, your wires are in correct firing order (CCW viewed from top) relative to #1 and you are aligned with TDC of the compression stroke on #1, all you'll need is fuel, and you'll be on your way. Good luck.

I got it running!!! Thanks guys!!
The problem was that since my ignition is f'ed up I was starting it from the sylinoid but I wasnt getting any electricity in the engine. All I was doing was runing the starter. I had to have the igniition turned on so I got that electricity and it fired right up!!
Now I need to get this thing smoged and registered.

That would do it. Glad to hear it was an easy solution.
