Make sure the timing is correct, as well as go through the ignition system and make sure everything is hooked up, working properly, etc.

Note that distributor position determines
fuel injector timing .
If you moved it when swapping , which you probably did , try moving Just a Little in
either direction , then try start and rev up .
You can find the " best spot "
I have heard about a method to { index it }
didn't work ..
Only other way is take to a dEaLeR or
other Fully qualified shop..
Spark timing comes from a sensor in the bell housing , behind and down alittle on pass side from dist.
