With the engine TDC pull the valve cover. Also pull the distributor cap and see which plug wire the rotor is aimed. Gently move the crankshaft back and forth and look for rocker arm movement. If the rockers on #1 are moving and the rotor is in the #1 position you are indeed 180 out. You can either rewire your distributor cap or remove and reinstall the distributor with proper rotor clocking.

That is one way but you do not need to pull the cover. Stick your finger (or something) LOL compression gauge, etc, into no 1, crank the engine until you start to feel compression. Stop and look for timing marks. Bring the marks up NOT to TDC but rather where you want timing, IE 5-8 BTC etc.

Then check the rotor and reluctor for proper time. WHY would it be out of time WHY?
