SOURCE: replaced timing chain distributor still out of time
Hello;
First on the timing set, did you line up the dots exactly? You should be at #1 TDC. Set the distributor in and as it engages the cam the rotor will turn. Continue to lower the distributor until it engages the oil pump drive. When this is done, the rotor will point to #1 on the cap. Adjust your timing to specs.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. Rate me highly.
Thanks;

Check the wire harness to the Ignition control module (ICM) or replace it. It cost around $40,00 from Auto Zone and it's common for the ICM to fail, or it may just be starting to fail and it's also know that the OEM distributor had a screen vent at the bottom of the distributor for ventilation to prevent condensation from forming in the distributor. Check to make sure your new distributor has a vent and that it's not plugged up with shipping plastic. Condensation may be forming causing the misfire in the distributor. Good luck and keep me posted.
