If you aligned the marks on the cam and crank gears (cam dot at 60clock,and crank gear at 12 oclock), then after assembly you must rotate the harmonic balancer (crank) 1 complete rotation before dropping your distributor in and aligning the rotor to number 1, otherwise you are without a doubt 180 degrees out.
