Ive seen this alot. People stab in the distributer at the "SAME TDC" where the Cam was degreed at.

The CAM is degreed on the overlap cycle between the exhaust and intake. The Distributer is Timed on the Comp stroke TDC. Witch is 180* at the distributer. Ive seen engines Run and pop 180* off but never seen them Driven.

Definately check to see what TDC stroke cycle your distributer is fireing on number 1.

To test for that with the engine together. Pull the number one plug. Put your tumb over the hole. Bump the starter till you feel compression pulse of air. Stop and then rotate the crank to TDC.
Now check your distributers rotor to see what cylinder its pointing at.
