Engine Timing

[67Camaro RS/SS 350]

What would cause the timing to retard no matter which way the dizzy is turned? I got the motor back in and everything is installed, but when I go to time the engine, no matter which way I turn the dizzy, it retards and stalls. At first, I thought it may be 180* out, but after removing #1 plug, holding fingure over hole I felt the puff of air telling me it's on compression stroke. I then removed cap and it was right.

Also, my rotor is pointing toward #2 cylinder. It has been like this for some time now. At one point, it was pointing toward #1 cylinder, but recently if I tried to point it toward #1, I would have to turn the dizzy so far to get it to run that the vacuum can would hit the intake.
