Can any Raleigh guys help me get my truck running?

[Blaze]

I feel like a friggin retard. I tried to do the intake gaskets in my truck on Saturday night, I started at 9pm and finished at like 2:30. In my rush and stupor, I took the distributor out without marking the rotor location.

I tried to set it to TDC by having my wife put her finger over the #1 hole, but I'm still not getting any fire.

It has literally been 8 years since I've screwed with a distributor, I've been driving distributorless ignition cars for the last 6-7 years.

I feel like such an idiot. I can take a car completely apart and put it back together, but I can't get my own damn daily driver to start.

It is a Vortec 454 in a 99 Suburban, so it is NOT FUN to do the timing.

I'll buy beer and pizza, I live in North Raleigh and I'll be available all day and night tomorrow!
