<>Maybe the timing is off and maybe it's not. Turn #1 to TDC and see if the timing marks line up; if so, you're fine.

Dude, all you have to do is make sure the new ignition is lined up to fire in the right order. when an engine is shut down, it doesn't always stop on the number one cylinder on the compression stroke ready to fire. It just stops where it stops. If you want to be sure, turn the crank to top dead center making sure it is on the compression stroke then install the ignition. I would recoment buying a chiltons or some sort of book on Chevy engines.
