Thanks everybody... I screwed up with the timing, ha. Cam and crank were aligned correctly, it was just the position of the dizzy. I thought it was firing at the right time, and even thought I proved that while testing, but on another look, I found I was out by a whole cylinder... plug 2 was firing when cylinder 1 was TDC. Reinstalled the distributor, rotated round slightly, and the engine fires nicely.
