Default L79 timing

I had my distributor Rebuilt by TI specialty recently asu engine was cutting out at 400 rpm. No gas lo e pressure issues or fuel problems. Just put it back in and cannot get the car to start. Rotor is pointed at #1 cylinder (approx 11 o'clock). It sputters but will not fire up. TI board is newer style. Have spark at # 1 cylinder. Plugs pulled and ok. Any suggestions?

This Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes. Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed.

C1 or C2 (1953 - 1967)?:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...2-corvettes-4/

Or a C3 (1968 - 1982)?:
