Back to basics here on the timing seting.  First, you need to pull number one plug and spin the engine over until air pushes out the plug hole.  Now, hand turn the engine a little until the timing points to number one.  Once that is done remove the distributor and reinstall it where the distributor points to number one.  Once this is done reinstall the plug wires at their proper location.
