I reread your OP, you have compression. with your tester all plugs are firing. you have confirmed you are on #1 compression. I'll assume fresh gas in the carb. All that is left is something is missing in the dist setup/timing assuming no vac leak. Each set of points connected to the coil neg pri is correct. the EDIT info I posted prior came from the Jacobs ign bible, you might see where you are at with that. & I would time it at 15.

Sounds like the intermediate shaft isn't lined up where it should be, most likely off a tooth. With the engine at TDC (#1 Cylinder) the slot on the intermediate shaft should be pointing vertical (up & down).

timing tab is on pass side & timing light is showing way CCW past the tab? How far would you guestimate? ported or manifold? what idle speed?

OK, got her running, something weird is up, had to rotate the distributor almost 25 degrees. Not even close to the timing marks, but runs smooth as hell.
Thanks everyone for you help!!
Jim Find your true top dead center first and then check it against you balancer and cover markings. These are cheap -
