Default starting problem

So my dad has a 1973 dodge challenger 340 four barrel. he gave it to me for my birthday. lets just add the car has not been started in about 5 yrs. I recently done the following..

+Changed Spark plugs
+Changed Oil & Oil filter
+New Spark plug cables

I just set the timing to where it wants to start. damper is on 0, #1 Piston is on top as up stroke, and distributor is facing to the #1 piston. yesterday i got it to start for 2 sec then it turned off. it does not want to crank. sounds like it wants to it just doesn't.

any suggestions?
