Well the problem has been solved. I had a mechanic friend of mine come over to look at the car and what we discovered was that the factory diagram of the wiring of the spark plug wires is TOTALLY WRONG. Since my distributor rotates counter clockwise. I have enclosed these photos to help anyone else out there who might have a similar problem. The first photo shows the location of the #1 cylinder on the distributor by having the wire removed. The second photo (and I do not know why it attached sideways) show how the wires are routed to the distributor.
