Do you have the throttle body open all the way when you do the compression test? 130psi is low. You should be getting 142-192 psi.

make sure your distributor is installed correctly
it might be 180 degrees out

yep. sounds like timing to me. What i did, is cranked the motor at tdc, and slid the distributor in at tdc too, and it started. If it doesn't, do like, quarter inch turns on the distributor until you're satisfied.
