Skycuda, If the cam was put in with both dots lined up to each other then your on the wrong stroke. That is only if the distributor was dropped in pointing at #1 with both dots lined up. When you line the dots up together you are tdc on the number 6 piston of the compression stroke. . It's an easy fix. You can just pull the distributor out and rotate the distributor rotor 180 degrees so it is pointing at the number 6 on the cap or move your plug wires to match up to the distributor.
