OT Headgasket job prob

Did you set the ignition timing right?

FWIW, I ignore intermediate shaft timing, and just install the dizz
where I want it and set timing from there.  

Put your timing light on, and watch the marks on both the flywheel and
cam pulley as someone else turns it over.  You should be close on both
counts.
