Are you sure the distributor is aligned correctly and not out of phase? Did you cross up the plug wires to the wrong cylinder on the dizzy, or plugs?
The firing order for our cars is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Don't ask me how I know!
Make sure you have the #1 plug wire on the right point on the dizzy, and then follow that order in clockwise order to make sure they are in the right firing order.
