Ignition timing off. Pull plugs, with finger over #1 cyl (closest to radiator) rotate engine until feel compression. Place small wire into cyl until it touches piston then slowly rotate engine until piston is a top. Pull rotor cap and look at where the rotor is pointing; connect the #1 spark plug to the cap at this locaton. Going clockwise, install #2, then #4 and finally #3 (firing order is 1--2-4-3). After engine starts fine tune the distriburor timing. If this don't work, would suspect that the timing gear on the camshaft was installed incorrectly.
