To see if you are off on the distributor location, with the #1 plug removed rotate the crank by hand with one of your fingers in the plug hole. On the compression stroke, you will feel your finger being pushed out, watch for the timing makes to line up. Now remove the dist. cap and check to position of the rotor, it should be pointing to where the the #1 is in reference to the cap. This is usually what happens. When you remove and try to replace the dist. it trys to rotate forwards, you need to start it in a little before the number one postion. Also you might have to use a long screw driver to rotate the oil pump drive shaft alittle to line up with the slot in the bottom of the dist. It get a little stricky sometime and my take more than one try. Don't force anything, also if you set in the right place where it will in up after it drops down, you can have someone bump the ignition just enough to line up the pump shaft. Like I said it might take a couple of trys, but you will get it. After it's in check the finger in the hole again and see where the timing make is and the rotor to cap location. Good luck.
