Rebuilt 318 install problem

It is a brand new distributor; not that means it's right but I feel it's something else. I've been thru the wires countless times to be sure of the order and they are correct.

It just does not make sense to me at all. I wish I had a second set of eye to look over the car in person to see what I'm missing! I'm at that point! I hate to throw in the towel but it's kicking my butt!


Bad engine ground?
