I went through a similar problem some months ago.  Rick is right you either 
have the gear in the wrong position at the dizzy drive/cam gear or more 
seriously have the crank/camshaft position wrong.  Fortuneatly mine was the 
former 
and was easily remedied.  Set the crank to TDC with the rotor pointed to #1 
post 
of dizzy cap. You may find that they don,t line up.  In that case remove 
Dizzy and drive gear. Reinstall drive gear so that it is rotated one tooth 
counter-clockwise.  You'll have to move to oil pump cog a bit to get the gear 
to drop 
into place.  This may take more than one try.
Then replace dizzy and check rotor to cap alignment.  Ther may be an easier 
way-but this worked for me. Good luck.
