Pull a couple plugs put a shot of something in there and put the plug back in. Sep on the starter and it should fire off. There is a chance the cylinder will be open and your either or WD-40 will escape, so be prepared to do it a couple times. It may not run, but if it is firing you will hear it try.
If not, the next simpleist thing to do it back off the ignition cable going into the distributor a turn or so, maybe more. If it is in too far it MAY push the "tang: on the lower plate up against the distributor body. If it does that it kills the current to the points (shorted circuit). I have actually had this happen.
