If you have the distributor in 180 degrees off, it will not run.
The rotor needs to be pointing at the #1 spark plug terminal on the distributor cap when the #1 cylinder is on the compression (or firing) stroke. In other words, as the piston is approaching the top of the cylinder, both the intake and exhaust valve have to be closed; and the rotor should be approaching the #1 spark plug terminal at that time.
