Re: To pissed to talk
Distributor is 180° out: sending spark to each cyl at its instance of TDC when the exh valve is closing and the int is opening, instead of the other instance of TDC at the end of the compression stroke and beginning of power

Exactly:
We build motors at the dot-to-dot point because it's easy to see and get lined up right, NOT because it's #1 firing (because it isn't). Sure, it's #1 TDC, but NOT #1 firing. It's #6 firing; it's the instance of #1 TDC that's at the end of the exh stroke and beginning of the int, NOT the firing instance.
The correct orientation of the dots for #1 firing is both at 12:00. Exactly one full crank rotation, and one-half cam rotation (engine cycle), away from dot-to-dot.

Distributor is 180* out
Timing chain not lined up right dot to dot.
Plug wires on the wrong places on dist.
My money is on timing off due to dist. placement.
