No start on rebuilt 360LA

Would a new distributor make a difference? All 8 wires are sparking, 100% not 180 out. Made absolutely sure it was correct.
The only thing that would make it backfire out the carb is its firing with the intake valve open. So either the timing is way off or your valves are stuck open. If the msd is messing up the timing then a points dissy would solve it because you can just hot wire it and run the dissy and coil straight off the battery no msd box! Then you know your timing is straight off the dissy no msd in the equation.
