it ran great before all of last year. I had replaced was the distributor ( which has all of it has continuity and spark plug wires) and changed the headers to logs.

How strong is the spark off the coil?  Why did you replace the distributor?

How do you know it's on number one compression?

Should be 12° before tdc, does it pop?

To eliminate fuel as a cause,  squirt some down the holes.

Keep a fire extinguisher close by.

How bright is the spark?

Did you try grounding the distributor housing?

It should at least release a Taco Bell fart out of the carburetor of it was a timing thing.  (You guys know what I'm talking about,  lol).
