Are you sure the timing mark is 180 degrees out? If it is, it would be facing below the fuel pump when the strobe fires. Is it marked really well, like with some white chalk? Maybe your problem is you're advanced big-time due to getting the distributor gear off by one tooth. The engine will idle great with even a ton of advance, although starting might be hard. One more thing -- could the woodruff key on the crank nose have sheared off, allowing the balancer to spin? I'd be very interested in hearing how this turns out. Please let me know.
