Pulled the Mess that was my Timing Chain....

Well, welcome to the world of cars.....sorry to hear this.
Ignition:
- Check firing order on spark plug wires....!
- Pull the coil high voltage wire, set the end 1/4" from metal, and crank; see if it jumps that gap or a bit more with a good snappy, blue spark
- What coil and ballast do you have? Please post pix of ballast
- If the 4 terminal ballast, make sure the coil + hooks to the low resistance side
- Check voltage to the ballast on the blue wire while running and make sure it is 12v
- Are the plugs and wires new?
- Is the rotor hitting the underside of the distributor cap?

Valves/timing:
- Re-adjust valves; for cold valves, set a bit wider than than the hot settings. Are you sure you are doing this right? It is critical.
- Pull valve cover; figure out exactly where TDC is by probing the #1 cylinder to where it is at the very top; this has to be done very carefully
- Check 0 degree timing mark at the damper with #1 at TDC
- Look at the vavle son #1 and #6; one or the other should have the ex and in valves open equally if the timing chain is right; use a straight edge across the retainer to see this.

BTW.... rebuilt carbs can be bad from the box.....

Have you checked fuel flow and pressure while cranking?
