Re check all your plug wires 3 times. What I do in situations like this is pull the distributor and start from square one. Find TDC #1 Compression stroke, drop the dizzy in and make sure its pointing to #1. It should fire and run half way right if you lined up the marks on the balancer at TDC #1 cylinder.
