He got it working. He has no idea how he did it. He just took the distributor out, put it back in again, and it went. Some would go as far as saying it was a Christmas miracle.

Bet he turned the dizzy drive lugs 180 degree when he replaced it.

Dizzy drive lugs?

Yup! You can put the dizzy in the wrong way around in those...

The holden dist has a gear drive...it can go in anywhere.The body can go in anywhere too...apart from the vacuum advance unit hitting the block.He fluked it,that's all.
I remember on my Trade Cert Practical I got a red Holden engine with dist out and disassembled - I got it running with no more than the test light davereid mentions.I got bonus points for the first engine to fire in the class,and more bonus points for it running perfectly first time.And a thumbs up from the examiner when I admitted I didn't know how to use a strobe timing light....and when we hooked it up the timing was spot on.
