Help understanding my odd timing?!?!

Moper or anyone else. My 340 will not continue to run! I followed Mopers instructions, Dist. drive gear pointing toward #1, Rotor toward front (it actually pointed to #1, i'm guessing thats what he meant). Plug wires correct. My Dist. is the old school Mopar electronic with mech. tach drive (no vac. adv. canister. How should I dial in the dist. body on this dist for start up? We have tried every position for start up. It trys to fire but won't continue! When the key is on the tach lights up so i feel i'm getting juice. Could the ign. be bad? I had to install a new voltage reg. Could I have a wire wrong? It's got an MSD digital 6 and remote timing control. The timing control works. I hope i'm not hijacking this thread since it seems to be very related. It's peeing me off BIG TIME! Thx for any help, Kevin
