Make sure your timing is correct in the first place. A misplaced distributor will cause your timing to be WAY off! That thing inside your distributor is called a rotor, with the piece of metal on one end...
If you know the distributor is on correctly, get a spark plug from somewhere, put it in one of your plug wires, and turn the engine over while holding the thread part against a good ground. If you have spark, then you may want to check your wire placement.
