Firing order is cast on the exhaust manifold. I think it is 1-3-4-2. Check that when at TDC on #1 the rotor is pointing to the terminal that goes to #1 plug. Make sure it is really at TDC on #1, easy to get it 180 degrees out. Dizzy rotor goes anti-clockwise (I think, easy to check by cranking with the cap off).

Are you getting a spark now (pull al plug and lit it sit on the dhead (grounding body) when cranking to check.

No Problem.

I had the dizzy 180 out on one of my v8s a while back. After a lot of cranking (and wondering why it wouldn't start) there was a massive explosion in the exhaust from all the unburnt fuel, and the muffler ended up looking like a balloon. I re-checked the timing after that!
