you probably have the spark timing wrong.
installing the distributor correctly usually takes multiple tries.
i feel like i've said this about a dozen times lately... lol.
if you line up the pin per the FSM and stab the distributor in, the mesh with the gears rotates the rotor right one tooth. this usually results in the distributor timing being 1-2 teeth off where it needs to be.
the car will almost seem like it's catching a little, but it won't start with the distributor off 2 teeth. if it's off one tooth, it will start, but only with the distributor maxed in one direction, and it will run very, very poorly.
