OK, found out what the problem was, it was the timing. Got it started, but now it won't idle. I don't have the alternator or water pump belt on right now because there isn't any antifreeze in it and I didn't want to seize the water pump. Could the alternator not running cause it? If not, what else should I look for?

Thanks,

Bill
