Sorry, I changed the wires too.  When you say remove the distributor and put 
it in 180 the other way, there is only one way that the chuck (proper term?) 
will line up on this model - the slots are offset.  I was just going to 
rotate the wires 180 degrees.  Won't that work?  Or should I remove the 
distributor drive gear and reinsert it 180 degrees.  Honestly, I don't see 
how that would make a difference.  If it does please please enlighten me.  I 
am close to my wits end.

Change the spark plug wires? Would that work? You need to check that the
distributer is not off by 180 degrees. If so, remove the distributer and
insert it in 180 degrees the other way.

To check, put car at TDC - verify valve position by removing valve cover.
Check valve timing. Then check the distributer position.
