NewZenki

I bought a 95 zenki with rod knock and dropped a junkyard 95 KA24de into it this weekend. The only things I kept from the old motor were the dizzy and the throttle body. THe car is an auto, but the new engine was 5 spd.
I just took a stab at timing it by going to tdc and pointing the dizzy rotor at the #1 wire. Must have been close as it started, but it runs rough and throws a MIL 71 code(general misfire).
I put new plugs in it(the old ones looked fine).
When I put a timing light on it, it is in the middle of the timing marks and i just turned it to the smoothest idle.
I went back over all the harness plugs and everything looks ok to me.
Any suggestions as to where to look next?
