Did you get the cap cinched down correctly? If it is loose it will have problems.

The firing order is clockwise, it will run the other way but poorly, so check that. I have gotten it wrong.

Finally, check your distributor cam for wear. If the cam is worn out you will be able to adjust the dwell OK but the gap will end up way too narrow and the thing will misfire.
