Matt,
Are you sure? I manually aligned the notch on the timing mark at TDC. I
then removed the distributor and realligned it so the rotor pointed at
Cylinder 1. (so at TDC, the rotor points to Spark Plug one). Wouldn't that
be correct?
Could something else be 180 degrees off internally in the distributor since
i 'rebuildt' it?
Thanks for your help,
Brian

Brian,
The cloud of gas you're seeing is from the distributor being in wrong.
Chances are, it's off 180 degrees. To see if that's the problem, just move
the plug wires on the sparks plugs. If that fixes it, you can either leave
it as-is or remove the distributor and turn the rotor 180 degrees. Also,
when the #1 cylinder is at TDC, both the rotor and vacuum advance can
should be roughly parallel to the engine block. Take a look at
http://www.mattsoldcars.com/RestoreAmerican/new_lines.shtml to see what my
distributor looks like.
