Set your timing ahead of time so that it will fire right off and run.
Pull the distributor out, get #1 cylinder at TDC of the compression stroke (make sure compression) and put the balancer on 0. Then turn the engine in normal rotation until the balancer is at 18-20 degrees. This will give you plenty of advance to fire. If you leave it on 0, it will be late and you'll be fiddling with the distributor to get it to fire.
Now put the distributor in and make sure the rotor points at #1 plug.
As Clois says, take the inner springs out.
Put a big fan in front of the radiator.
