Right, your injectors could be leaky. I doubt this is new, so if it ran 
before, then just add this to the list of things to fix. Medium Priority.

Umm, about as many turns as it took to get it where it is now. :-) 
Seriously, It was most likely fine before, and just try to get it back 
there. Once it's running again take it to a shop and have them set it using 
a CO meter.

That is the way it's supposed to be. However, it is possible to install the 
distributor so that the rotor is in any position when at TDC, so just 
installing the wires to the "factory" positions does not necessarily mean 
that they will be getting spark at the right time. To be sure it's all 
right, take off the cap and turn the motor to TDC. Use the mark on the 
flywheel as the indicator. Now look where the rotor is pointing. It should 
be pointing at a small mark on the distributor housing, roughly at the point 
closest to the motor. Now test fit the cap, and the wire plug for #1 should 
match up to where the rotor is pointing.
