Not likely, unfortunately, if you are timing with a light.
If you are using a light, you get the "flash" in the timing
light whenever the spark occurs, which takes into account any
errors in installing the magetic rotor and so on.
Did you diassemble your distributor any during the work, and
perhaps assembled or installed it wrong? I know that for
example my LUCAS 4 cyl distributor can be reassembled backwards
which works fine but requires the plug wires installed
differently. (in other words, doesn't fire up even though
you insist to yourself "I CHANGED NOTHING")
