Pull the ignition coil wire out of the distributor cap and crank the engine over with the starter. Does it sound normal?
If so: When was the distributor cap & rotor replaced last? How many miles on the cap & rotor? What brand? These things are very fussy when it comes to tune up parts, they really like AC Delco stuff, especially the distributor cap & rotor

Make sure the cap is wired correctly, easy mistake to switch wires 1 & 3 on the cap:
If it's wired correctly, the distributor might be installed 180 degrees off. In other words, when the crank marks are aligned, #1 piston might be on TDC of the exhaust stroke instead of compression stroke.

Ok, gotta make sure the distributor is meshed correctly with the camshaft. When the marks on the dampener are lined up like in post #4, #1 piston is at TDC. The crankshaft turns 2 revolutions for each one revolution of the camshaft and distributor. So, #1 piston could be at TDC on its compression stroke or TDC on its exhaust stroke. The distributor MUST be installed when #1 piston is on TDC of compression stroke. You've got a 50/50 chance of getting it right, unless you remove the left rocker arm cover and check the rocker arms, (easier to just pull the distributor and rotate it 180 degrees).
