Default Dangit. Appears to be stuck...

Morning, ladies and gents. Been a little less than a year since I started my '62. Got busy doing other things. Just replaced the starter, plugs, wires, distributor cap and battery on a 351. Thinking it would turn right over, but no. Acts like it wants to, but won't turn. I did scroll the pages (got to about 27), and found some good info. I have pulled the plugs, squirted kroil in the spark plug holes, and was going to start gently moving the balancer. Leery of removing valve covers and distributor due to lack of replacement parts. Does anyone know what size bolt holds the balancer on? Thinking it is a 15/16". I don't have the right socket or a long enough breaker bar. Wanted to make sure before I drove into town. If anyone has any other tips on gettin' it moving, I would be very grateful. She fired right up and ran like a top the last time I started her. Have a great day!
