Change the spark plug wires? Would that work? You need to check that the
distributer is not off by 180 degrees. If so, remove the distributer and
insert it in 180 degrees the other way.
To check, put car at TDC - verify valve position by removing valve cover.
Check valve timing. Then check the distributer position.
