Best Answer

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.
