This will take a couple of days.

That's fine. I would feel better if you repeated all the steps of finding TDC, rotating the engine around until it is about 20 degrees BTDC, and then move your wires around the cap until the #1 wire is over the rotor. Make sure you have the right firing order, and don't get clockwise and counter-clockwise confused. Triple check all of that and I bet the car fires up and idles on all eight cylinders. Maybe.
