The way you said you checked and set timing isn't how you do it. Find true dtc,intake and exhaust valve closed on number 1 cylinder,it comes to TDC twice for a complete cycle 1 time a valve will be open next time it won't. Now twist the distributor until the rotor points to the number 1 spark plug wire position on the distributor . Snug it down put your cap on. Make sure your wires a 18436572. It should start then you can twist the distributor tell it runs decent,now put your timing light on it.

Warshed cylinders. Bad rings. Hey Matt I'm not happy. Think you can help? What can you do?
He's got no spark then, right? I never heard of such a thing now there are two of them with the same issue. Bad distributor rotor. Check the distributor power plug. Ummm hey Matt! We're not happy in here.

Look Matt cares, ok?
