If the camshaft and crankshaft are in proper time according to the marks you need to find the #1 cylinder and bring it close to top dead center (TDC). This can be done by removing the spark plugs and bumping the engine with the starter until cylinder number one pushes air out the spark plug hole. You can feel it with your finger (if you cover the hole with something it will blow it off).
Then rotate the distributor so you can insert it. The rotor should then be pointed to cylinder #1. This should be close enough to get it running so you can set the timing with a timing light. It is possible to be 180 degrees out of phase and have the motor run.

What is purpose of crankshaft position sensor circuit perf?
In older cars that used a distributor, the distributor shaft was connected to the camshaft. The camshaft was connected to the crankshaft. So as they all turned, the spark would fire in direct correlation to the crankshaft. Once they eliminated the distributor, the computer needed a way to determine when to fire the spark. So they place a sensor near the end of the crankshaft and it reports the crankshaft position to the computer. So the computer can know when to fire the spark for each cylinder.

What makes an oil pump work on a 99 truck?
If it has a distributor, then that is what drives the oil pump. The camshaft is what makes the distributor turn.If it does not have a distributor then the gear on the oil pump slides over the front of the crankshaft and turns when the crankshaft turns and that is what makes the oil pump work. Early 99 models had a distributor, and the late 99 did not have one.
How many strokes will a piston go compared to the amount of times the distributor turns on a chevy 350 motor?
For every 1 turn of the crankshaft will make the camshaft turn twice. So the distributor will turn around one time for every 1 turn of the crankshaft.
