If for no other reason than to eliminate it as a cause, why not go back to the most basic of basics on the distributor?

Remove the #1 plug. Rotate the engine in the proper direction until you feel compression building in #1 cylinder via you finger over the spark plug hole. Stop the rotation at the timing mark or within a few degrees. Your distributor rotor should now be under #1 spark plug wire. If it's 180 degrees out, remove the distributor and remount 180 degrees reversed. For any other situation, put #1 wire over the rotor and insert the balance of the wires in the correct firing order and rotation. This done, there can be absolutely no question about the distributor position or wire position.
