Oil in the cyls would be a major concern right now... and all you did was line up the dots doesnt say antyhing... I have had cams made wrong(factory ones) and they would hit the pistons if you lined up the dots... I will assume you checked to see if the dist is 180* out

they face each other, and that is #6 firing
when they are both at 12 oclock that is #1 firing.
This can confuse most people until they get the hang of it.

check/clean your plugs and check wires ( firing order) and then try moving distributor and check with timing light.
probably nothing wrong with the cam. If it starts it may run rough until all lifters pump up.

Are you 100% sure it's oil on the plugs and not gas?
I have a couple Mopar Performance chain sets that have the timing marks 2 teeth off. Degreeing the cam is cheap insurance.
If you put a cap and wires on are the wires on the cap in the correct direction?

Broke down and just tore into the motor. I think i found my bone head problem. I put my timing mark on the harmonic balance on zero. Then pulled timin cover off. The marks on the two gears were straight up on both. the distributor cap was burnt up. I dont quite know if anything else is burnt up yet.
