Well are you sure it's set up right? These are hydraulic lifter? Just tighten them down. Turn the motor by hand with a wrench on the crack, pull the number one plug out, put your thumb on the hole, you will feel the compression when #1 is on compression stroke, put the piston all the way to the top. Now set up the distributor to fire the #1 plug! Do that by pointing the rotor to the #1 firing spot on the cap. now it will run if there are no mechanical problems!
