one quick question, how are you telling when it is each cylinders firing position? are you lookign at the distributor rotor, or say holding you're finger over the spark plug holes? If going by the dizzy, its possible that is put in 180 degrees out. and that would explain the 6 & 1 firing position swap. If going by feeling the compression coming from the cylinder, When #1 cylinder puts out pressure and then stops(comes to TDC) the two dots should, at that time, be lined up(cam 6 o'clock, crnak 12)
