I know it must be something simple, but 140-160

I vote for plug wires being out of location.

Set crank pulley at proper static timing mark with #1 on compression stroke not on exhaust stroke, and verify that both valves are completely closed. Look at distributor rotor and see which cap terminal it's pointing at - that's #1 wire. Then install 3, 4, and 2 going around the cap counterclockwise.

Don't think you're the only one - I've done it.
