"Barn" find -- can't get it started.

I'm trying to resurrect a 2006 Propane H65 that had been sitting in the back of warehouse for years. Had the GM 3.0L engine pulled and rebuilt, new distributer, plugs, and coil. The guy doing the work for me can't get the engine started -- he even called the local Hyster Propane guru and he can't figure it out. Won't even hit on ether. Timing seems to be OK, although spark just seems to be weak to me. There are LOTS of wires that have been cut and I'm told they are all for "safety stuff". What should I look for? I ordered a service manual but it won't be here for days. Any hints or suggestions about where to go next will be appreciated.

Compression check, make sure it is sparking when it is supposed to, make sure plug wires are in the correct order. I'm guessing the distributor is not set right because it should do something if you sprayed ether in.

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
