Yup, your distributor is the problem. It's in 180° off. Turning the crank to TDC is only half the battle. The #1 valves must be closed as well (4 cycle engine).

Do this: Turn engine to TDC. Remove distributor cap, note the rotors position. Pop off the drivers side valve cover. The first two valves should be in a "relaxed" state. You should be able to spin the push rods with your fingers. If not, turn the engine one more time to TDC, then both push rods should spin fairly easily. Now, see that the rotor is pointing to the #1 spark plug wire. If not, pop out the distributor and give it 1/2 a spin, drop it back in, you're set to go!

The distributor is run off of the cam, which turns once for every two rotations of the crankshaft.

Good luck!
