at this point you might want to take it to a shop but as long as you install dizzy with number one on tdc and get the distributor rotor stabbed pointing at no 1 on cap you should be able to get enough advance or retard out of it so tfi isn't pegged against the housing..also double check firing order and make sure it is going in the counter clockwise order
