Make sure your wires are in the firing order going clockwise, 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 easy way to tell the direction of rotation is to look at the vacuum advance canister,it pulls opposite of the distributer rotation, or you can just bump the engine over with the cap off. Sounds like it's just out of time.
Good luck,
Ben
