Help! Distributor!

I replaced the points module in my Mallory dual point distributor with an e-spark module this weekend. Now the truck won't start. I don't think it's the module because I have spark. I think I've goofed up the timing somehow. Here's what I did:

1) Set engine to TDC compression (stuff rag in #1 spark plug hole, bump starter till it pops out, turn by hand to align marks on balancer to 0 degrees).

2) Remove distributor, do conversion

3) Re-stab distributor. Line up rotor with #1 tower on cap. tighten clamp (slightly).

4) Replace cap.

You would think that a timing light would show the mark on the balancer in the vicinity of where it's supposed to be while cranking the engine over, but it's not visible anywhere. I also tried putting the pickup on the wire for #6 thinking I might be 180 out, but no luck there either.

What am I missing here...?
