OK, having wiggled the distributor, your first loosened the bolt that held it (I hope)? If you didn't need to loosen it first, then that is trouble. Having moved it and
"put it back", are you sure you have the correct setting on the distributor? Having it off by as little as 10 degrees (one wig of a wiggle?) will make it not start.
To hand set the distributor, you're going to have to:
1. Hand crank cylinder #1 to TDC.
2. Timing light in hand, and the igition turned on.
3. Position the distributor so that the light blinks.
This isn't quite as easy as it sounds.
4. Check the timing at "starter speed" to be at 0.
