If you have put the distributor back in the proper position and its not out a tooth you might try to disconnect the battery for a few minutes (5-10 to be safe) to reset the computer. I really think you're out by a tooth which has changed the timing though...
The distributor is not timed with a timing light. The distributor rotor is lined up with the mark in the pick up plate when the crank is at tdc#1. The computer then does all timing from there.
It could lay with the computer control modual or the distributor and in some cases the trotle posistion sensor.

I would say counter-clockwise but if you take the distributor cap off and have someone turn the engine over as you watch the distributor you will be able to see which way it turns.
computer , coil or distributor are most likely culprits

If it doesn't have a distributor, you probably have an electronically controlled ignition. Coil packs deliver the spark to the spark plugs when the computer tells them to fire.
