I didn't take out the distributor. The rotor was close to where it was needing to be so I turned the distributor to time it. Moved it in both directions in small increments and it wouldn't run right anywhere in the range.
Need to put a timing light on it?
If you didn't take the distributor out, the distributor timing would be off like 30/40 degrees. You are probably firing off the next cylinder in firing order, or one behind.

Put the damper timing mark at the 10º mark on cover and take cap off.
The rotor should be pointing at #1 post of cap.
(or #6 depends on where the crank mark is)
If it's off, the timing is off. (distributor timing not cam)
