I'm glad you checked it. You need to remove the timing chain and (i believe) the cam gear 360 degrees. See if that helps. If it doesn't, then put the crank on TDC (align timing marks), align the cam timing marks and if the distributor is still out, remove it and turn it 180 degrees to point at #1. IF you have the timing marks correct and the distributor is pointing at #1, it should be fine.
