Spin the oil pump shaft down inside the block - use a LONG flat headed screwdriver. Happens all the time. look in the end of the distributor with the gear - it has a line cast into it just for that reason.

1997 chevy vortec 6 cyl...was starting fine now the engine turns over but will not fire off, where should I start trouble shooting ?
start with cap and rotor, look inside and make sure all your points of contact are not warn if so replace them.if you have electronic ignition your coil pack in the top of the distributor cap could be bad or the module it is aflat looking piece inside the distributor with plugs on each end.

I have a 1996 chevy 5.7 vortec engine idles high at 1000 and when you open throttle fully it has like a misfire no power
This could be anything from a bad vacuum leak to bad ignition coil to spark plug wires to distributor cap and rotor or ignition coil. From the sound of this I would look to the vacuum leak or the EGR.

Installed new distributor in 97 Chevy Vortec V6
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.
