You need to bring the car back to TDC, then re-insert the distributor making sure the rotor is pointing at #1 on the cap. The Spout connector must be out when setting the timing, but start the motor with the plug in. If not you are seeing total advance all the time. I hope yor plugs are at .050

I'm sure that was just a typing error

Good luck sounds like that will be one healthy motor. Lets us know when you get the beast started.
