Well for one even if you put your distrubutor in the same spot it could be totally wrong spot. One your replace our your timing chain (when it wears it gets alot of slack that can mess up timing, also make sure your timing chaining was correctly lined up). you'll have to figure out where to put your carb. The easiest way to get it running with is have somebody crank the engine while one person rotates the distributor back and forth and once it is running keep the distributor there. I had the problem when I first got my mustang. It would sputter and shoot out flames and not stay running. Also you have to make sure your sure it's firing on the compression stroke instead of the exhaust stroke which is a common problem. I've redone alot of heads on vehicles and you always think if you put the distributor back to where it was it would be ok...but damn i've been wrong many of times, you'll get it the worse that'll happen is your learn more!
