Fuel/air mix, compression, and spark at the right time and your car will start and run. Tell us what you have done to get these parameters met. Here is a wiring diagram to start with.
Just for good reference you should verify the direction your distributor turns, and then watch to see which way the lever on the quadrant moves to retard the spark. Now when you want to start your car move the lever in the full retard position.
I would drain and add new gas, oil change, pump up the tires , and put a used battery in it and see if you can start it up. Wash it and now make your decision to keep or sell.
