Sounds like timing--the way I like to fix this is to put someone in the driver's seat. You loosen the distributor clamp with a 10mm nutdriver. With the nutdriver in the right hand (and on the nut) and the distributor in the left, I have the person make sure the car is in neutral then crank it while I slowly rotate the distributor. When it starts, I adjust it until the car idles nicely, then tighten the nut.
