Default My First Flathead! 35 Standard

Hello all,

New here. Always wanted a 30’s Ford car. Just recently picked up a really clean and mostly original 35 Standard Tudor.

Original 81k car. Bought from second owner.
Original interior
Repainted once in the 60’s.
Mostly original except juice brakes (good thing). Engine rebuilt a few thousand miles ago.

It has been sitting for about 20 years but in the dry.

So far I haven’t been able to get it started. No spark coming from the distributor. I have spark coming from the coil. Condenser and coil test good.

No clue or experience with one of these distributors. Should I fix this or look for an adapter and swap to a crab style distributor?
