timing and ignition q's?

i just swapper in the duraspark ignition system in my 85 and got rid of the other junk. i could not figure out the igniton though there should be 2 power wires 2 coil wires and 2 distributor wires right? anyways i ended up puttin g i n a temporary msd ignition and went to time it and there was no mark showing up so i took the light and looked underneath the truck and sure enough the mark is dirextly below the pointer what would cause this?

When you did the swap and changed the distributor, did you index the rotor on the #1 cylinder, on the compression stroke, before you removed the old distributor?
