Make the valvetrain adjustable anytime you run an aftermarket cam. Yes sometimes you can get away with not doing that with some milder grinds but it’s always best to convert to adjustable.
You may not be able to perform a valid compression test until your valves are properly adjusted.
Recurving your distributor would be wise as well.
