1990 Bronco cam change problem

Hi Everyone, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

<o></o>

I have a 1990 Bronco with a 302 with 31,000 miles on it. I put in a new sum3600 cam, new timing chain and gears. I brought it up on tdc, aligned the timing marks, reassembled everything. I put the distributor on #1, the truck tries to run but doesn't, I've moved it a tooth both ways. Is there something I'm missing? Can anyone help? <o></o>

<o></o>

Thanks Arnie <o></o>

<o></o>

I think I have the firing order clockwise instead of counter clockwise. It uses 15426378. Rookie move
