Make sure you put the distributor in correctly by finding top dead center of #1 cylinder and making sure that the rotor is pointing at #1 on the distributor cap. After that ..buy a timing light to fine tune it. $30 -$40 for a cheap one.

Best thing you could do is invest in a book/manual if you are going to work on your vehicle. Always money well spent.
