The timing on that engine is controled by the computer. You can not use a timing light.
The only thing you can do is move the distributor enough to get the engine to run and have power and that is called the base timing. When it does run and the engine light is not on then you got lucky, but if the check engine light comes on, then you will have to get an engine scanner and hook it up and go into the timing mode and move the distributor until you get the cam and crank in time. The scanner will show you when it is in time and the engine light will go off. Tighten distributor and your done. The computer will do the rest.

Why 1996 vortec won't start after reinstallion of distributor?
As long as you marked or took note on what position the distributor cap was in when you took out the distributor, you can turn the distributor gear 180 degrees and reinstall it. There is a flat piece in the end of the distributor that looks like a flat head screwdriver and sometimes that turns when you take the whole thing out. This would put you 180 off on your timing. Try that and then reinstall and that may be your only problem.
