If the pedal was on the carpet when you cranked the engine, I wouldn't be surprised that you got the backfire and flame out the throttle body.
Yes the pedal was to the carpet. Guess that wasn't a smart move? I will try once more by squirting some starting fluid and have the throttle closed to see if it will run for a second or two.
Got a photo of that "number 8 mark" on the housing, and how it aligns with the "number one contact on the distributor cap"?

I will get one. I found both the "6" and the "8" embossed on the distributor. The "8' was harder to find. The rotor does point to the "8" at TDC on the compression stroke. This article helped even though it was for a 6 cylinder it does show where the "8" is stamped:
