Start over and redo the static timing. Bring up number one piston to top dead center and then point the rotor to that plug. Since the dist is in bring up TDC and then see where the rotor is.
I think your problem lies right there. Also when you take off the cap make sure the rotor button is not loose and the pointer on the rotor is tight as well. Good luck
