Timing will be 20 degrees BTDC. If you have fuel and spark, and you're sure the distributor is in the right way around, it will run. Check your firing order, then if it still doesn't fire, swap the plug wires 180 degrees instead of trying to stab the distributor again.

Pull the plugs and check for mashed electrodes (too long of plugs will hit the top of the piston) and fouling. Clean and gap as needed.

If it still doesn't work get out your biggest hammer and threaten it.

It sounds like you're doing everything right, just need to finess it a little!
