go back a pull out the dist and recheck the points gap and see if the capacitor is connected correctly. make sure the wire from the coil to the dist is on the negitive side of the coil and the termianls are good and not frayed. make sure you have good spark, make sure the rotor is in place and the cap is on correctly and the wires are in the proper holes. 1-5-3-6-2-4 is the firing order. I usualy line up the pointer on the flywheel to 0 and look at the rockers on number one to see if they are loose. then point the rotor to the number 1 cylinder and start putting the wires on.

If the pointer on the flywheel is at 0, and the rotor is pointed to the connection on the distributor cap that is at the number one cylinder does it matter where the rotor is pointing i.e. if looking at the engine 2 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 6 o'clock etc?
