Oh. What can be different? I turned the engine until the paper towels was blown out of spark plug hole 1, saw on the harmonic balancer that this had the needle on 0. I dropped the distributor so that the tack & 12v connectors we pointing at 3pm, i.e. the distributor was perpendicular to the engine.

What can go wrong I'm new to this so I genuinely don't know.
