360 Engine cranks but won't start

Ok so this is where I am at. I bought a TDC Indicator and put it in the #1 spark plug hand cranked the engine until it popped out I was then at -10 on the balancer. I had no idea what that means so I dropped the dist back in. Nothing. I ended up leaving the key in the run position ooopppps! Im recharging right now. In the meantime I took the cap off of the dist and looked to see where the rotor cap was facing it was not pointed @ #1 so I left it out hand crancked the engine until I knew it was in position to keep the rotor cap where I wanted which is pointed at #1. Now I have to go home and hopefully start it up since the battery is recharged. I gotta get this done! Im so bummed.
In my 318 i rebuilt i had to advance the crank 6° for the cam and pull the disy and turn it 180° fired right up
