Oh well.  You can always do it later...

the distributor casing has a mark, by the way.  Don't forget a small
amount of advance (6 deg is stock, right?)  But that shouldn't stop it
from starting...

What about too much or too little fuel?  (I hope you have reconnected
the warm up regulator by now)

As Phil said, try turning the static mixture screw all the way to one
stop, then go by half turns.  I would recommend turning it al the way
CCW, for no fuel at all or excessively lean, then slowly richen til it
catches.

Anyway, your logic above - may be too much fuel - seems like a hard way
to start a car with a simple management system.  But if you have to try
it with the boot off, crank, *then* lift plate I think.  Other way
sprays fuel too soon maybe?

Can you measure frequency valve duty cycle while cranking?
