It sounds like you either have the timing way off, or you crossed some of the plug wires.
I’m no expert but, I think I do. I tdc the motor, aligned the distributor to the number one cylinder, turned and back turned the motor to drop on the oil pump shaft, then re connected the wires and double checked the sequence and followed every wire to each cylinder to double check. The only question I have is the cap will only fit on one way right, there’s a small notch that it aligns up with. I did have trouble where there was no firing until I stuck the tester prob into the battery terminal and then it fired like crap as I must have been way off. I can’t believe how much trouble I have doing this each time. I installed and uninstalled a Petronix 5-6 times on this engine, it worked great for a 3 hours ride then died, so I went back to the original points
