Good evening
Why did you replace the distributor?
You need to bring up number 1 cylinder to top dead center compression. Make sure the mark on the crank lines up on the scale.
Then drop the distributor n and line up the rotor with number 1.
You will then need a timing light to set the timing.

NOTE: To ensure correct timing of the distributor, the distributor must be installed with the rotor correctly positioned as noted. If the engine was accidentally cranked after the distributor was removed, the following procedure can be used for installing.
A. Remove the number 1 spark plug.
B. Place finger over the number 1 spark plug hole and crank engine slowly until compression is felt.
C. Align timing mark on pulley to "0" on engine timing indicator.
D. Turn rotor to point between number 1 and number 8 spark plug towers on the distributor cap.
8. Install the distributor.
9. Install distributor hold-down clamp and distributor clamp bolt. Tighten clamp bolt to 36 Nm (27 lb. Ft.).
10. Install rotor in the same position at which it was removed.
11. If removed, install the secondary wires from cap, wiring harness latches and wiring harness retainer.
12. Connect four terminal ECM harness to distributor.
13. Connect ignition feed wire.
14. Install distributor cap and spark plug wires.
15. Check engine timing.
