Turn engine to correct timing mark. If you have points, turn distributor until points just start to open. If you have electronic ignition, turn distributor until reluctor tooth lines up with pickup coil extension. That is a static timing set and should be fairly close to a dynamic set, certainly close enough to get it running decently.
The worse possibility is that the cam timing is incorrect. That would require pulling the timing cover and re-positioning the cam sprocket in relation to the crank sprocket.
