Figured it out I was 180* off from top dead center. I was using the wrong timing mark on the harmonic balancer. I put the # 1 cylinder at top dead center on the compression stroke. I pulled the distributer and aligned the dimple mark on the dist. gear with the white stripe on dist shaft. This should put the rotor pointing at the (near) cap mounting hole on the flat side of the dist. I then took a screwdriver and positioned the oil pump shaft so it aligned with the blade on bottom of dist. gear. I then placed the dist. in and it rotated so the rotor was pointing exactly at the # 6 stamped on the dist.body. I put it all back togeter and it ran like a champ.
