Just post the compression readings and we will go from there...
I believe the #1 post was on the passenger side with the old points distributor and they moved it to the drivers side with the HEI distributor. I've had a couple of "really" old timers tell me my #1 wire was on the wrong side of my HEI, it was on the drivers side. I did a little research and found the factory switched sides.
