Tune up for a 27 Dodge

[BYmechanic]

I can not find my 1927 Dodge manual, and am now getting ready to fire up this baby. The engine is a four cylinder and engine number is B775-700. The engine was rebuilt back in the 1970's, and has never run since. I have turned over this engine faithfully 3 or 4 time a year via the starter an or crank handle. The distributor has being off the engine for repair (broken advance arm) but now looks ready to be used. I need the firing order of the engine, and any advice on the check list before I attempt to start this motor. I always put a few drops of oil through the plug hole before turning over the engine. I also am aware of the advancement of the spark advance. Any help would be much appreciated.

First thing is finding out if it's the old 4 cylinder or the 'Fast Four'. I believe 27 was the transition year. Someone here should be able to tell you from the engine or car serial number.
