Optispark need help!

I have a 95 automatic 94,000 miles. I took everything apart to install new opti, I put the new opti in and somethings wrong. The car turns over but it's not running right. It's like the timing is way off and then it dies. Any help or pics would be greatly appreciated.

Did you install the cam dowel pin in the correct clover-leaf hole on the back-side of the Opti? There are three but only one is correct.

Describe of post a photo of the one you chose.

I thought I installed it the same way the old one came out. Can you explain/show me how it should be?? There are three slots and one has the mark on the top of it I believe that's the one it's installed on
