I'm kinda with Brian. Are you sure you're @ TDC? Either take the valve cover off on the passengers side, rotate the engine to TDC, make sure the valves on #1 are closed. If one is open you're 180* off, rotate the engine one revolution. The rotor should point to #1 on the cap. You will have to rotate the distributor some to get it to start. Or stick your finger over #1 spark plug hole and turn the engine until you feel compression. The next time TDC comes up it'll be in the right place.
