IGNITION PROB... THE FINAL FRONTIER. help!!

So, when I was pulling the old distributor and wires, I was like baahh, child's play, I can get it back together and didn't pay close attention to the wire routing.

I dropped the new distributor, hooked up the ignition module and the 12v, and ran new plugs and wires.

She cranked, but would not fire. Fuel is definitely getting into the cylinders, so it is definitely ignition. I got the engine set to TDC, made sure the rotor was pointing to cylinder 1, and I confirmed I have around 10 volts to the Distributor. This is how my wires are routed now-



Now, after checking more things, I looked at the old cap. It's routing is like this-



All manuals say the above pic is the norm, but my old routing is different. Since it ran, I am suspecting I need to run the wiring and reset the distributor pointing to 1 at TDC and try again...

Can anyone shed light on this? It's a 74 engine.
