You're on the right track, check and re-check that distibutor. I'm assuming you know how to find TDC and line up the dizzy?
Check your plugs too, see if you've "gas fouled" due to too much fuel... easy to do with an intake and/or carb swap.

when i had to pull my dizzy, i set the #1 piston tdc and rotor pointing to piston #1 wire...spent a couple hours trying to get it to fire. so eventually i got mad as did my dad so we would set tdc, and move the dizzy back a tooth, crank it over. we went through the process until it fired. i dont know if that is recommended but it worked for me.

That's how I usually do it, or even better, shine a flashlight in the hole (if you can get down in there to see it)
Make sure you're on the compression stroke when doing it though. I know, should be obvious... but I've seen people fail to do that in the heat of the moment.

Before or after you reset the dizz, make sure you have fire at the plugs. I would hate for you to go through all that and find your coil went dead (don't ask).
