What's your spark look like? It should be a fat, bluish spark when checked at the end of the plug wire with a paper clip in the boot and the paper clip held about a 1/4" from a good ground. If it's yellowish or orangey, you need to find out why by checking out the primary ignition circuit. If you do have a fat bluish spark, the timing has to be right and you have to have fuel to the cylinders. Most distributors can be installed 180 o off since the crankshaft rotates 2 revs per each power stroke. Make sure that when your #1 cylinder is near the top of the compression stroke, the distributor rotor is pointing at the #1 plug. Finally make sure that you have the plugs wires in the right firing order for your engine.
Hope thsi helps.
