Ok guys so I replaced the timing gear because it went out on me. I have lined up the marks on the new camshaft gear with the crank shaft gear as best as I could. I put the engine on TDC and set the distributor to run on one. This all worked and it fired up. When I went to set the ignition timing and turned the distributor it dies out on me. Now it won't hardly start even if I put it back where it was. I can get it to run for a second and then it dies out.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to get it running?
