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!

Well I have tried moving the disturbtor around and I still get nothing, And I know I got it at TDC, I double checked that, I tried again this morning I had the distrubutor turn almost around like 350 ans still no catch, It almost started this morning when I first tried I pumped it once held the pedal to the floor but I couldn't keep it going. The gears are also set right, because GM the dots line up and they where, so now that my Dad has gone away for like a month or 2 I stuck here alone with a van that will not start, so next wednesday when I get off work I'm calling the tow truck, I need a mechanic to take care of this damn thing!...I already got pissed and punch the dash board and almost broke my hand!
I don't know what could be wrong, I got a new Carb, Intake, Lifters, Timing gears and chains and new(rebuilt) heads.
