Distributor, timing, cut off ?

I have a 350 I changed the intake manifold gasket. Pulled carb, dist, etc. Thought I marked the dist correctly. Now the truck starts but then just shuts down sometimes less than a mile sometimes several miles. I let it sit for a few minutes and it will start again. I'm thinking there is an issue with the distributor install and timing. I hooked a timing light and turn the dist as far as I can go clockwise and the timing mark won't make it to the marks. Counter clockwise it starts to cut off and move further away from the marks. Also after it cuts off when you initially try to start it it cranks really slow like the timing is way off. But I let it sit then starts normal. Photos show where the timing mark is and dist location. Truck ran fine before teardown.
