Pull valve cover, dizzy cap and #1 sparkplug. Rotate the engine by hand. Ensure that just as the intake valve closes, the piston reachs TDC and the Rotor Button on the dizzy is pointing at the contact inside the cap for the #1 plug wire. Provided your timing marks are good and if the above is good, it's not a timing problem. If this doesn't diagnose the problem, double check the intake AND exhaust runners in the head along with both ends of the intake manifold and header to be sure there's not still shop rags, etc. left in them.
