If you have spark , take out the spark plugs & put a little gas in each cylinder & put the plugs back in and try starting again, if it fires you are not getting gas to the cyl.

Take your dist. cap off and move the lever , when it moves the points the same direction as the rotor when you turn over the eng. that is retard for when you start your car. if you
moving the points against rotation of the rotor thats advance. You can use this on all manual timing advance levers
Hi
Take out all the spark plugs and turn the engine over slowly, if it turns freely and you have compression on all cylinders you should be OK. The sock might have been used to plug the oil filler tube at one time. Let me know how you come out.
