Not that I "got away with it"
Look at Summit's application page and recommended parts.
Look at the dozens of threads about this kit.
I would not suggest the use of stock springs with the 3501 cam.
If he wants to know what my personal experience is with the cam he has just installed I am willing to answer his question from the perspective of someone who had one installed in my truck for over a decade.

So my ignition is set to 8 degrees before tdc and with the advance on its at about 6 degrees. I was just wanting to ask say by accident I got my distributor 180 degrees off would my truck still run when it is revved up. The only reson I am asking is because my truck won't even start without my foot to the floor and won't try to idle but shows the timing is on would this cause the problems I am looking at

You say static timing is 8* BTDC and you have already checked that the marks on the damper line up at 0* with TDC#1 on compression.
The rotor can only go on the distributor shaft one way.
I don't understand what you mean "with the advance on its at about 6 degrees"
The vacuum advance only adds timing to the existing static setting (and any centrifugal advance - that should come in between 900 and 3000 rpm)
