Re: timing a corolla

I got it all put back together, new gasket, new head. I don't think its timed right. I set cylinder 1 on compression stroke, lined it up with the marks on the side of the engine. The intake cam shaft was just moving the "point" off the lifter so that the valve was just closing. The marks on the camshafts were lined up with each other. The only thing I may not have right is the distributor is turned all the way one way. The engine tries to start really fast so I guess I have it advanced. How do you know if your 180 degrees off vs a tooth or two off? Would having the timing advanced all the way cause it not to start at all?
