Not Ranked
Please don't flame me for asking this. What piston were you checking.. Are you sure it is #1? Here's why I ask..
Here's the thing.. If you are running an aftermarket distributor with no specific reference to #1 cylinder you have likely changed #1 to something else.. seriously.. As long as the same firing sequence (firing order) is observed you can make any cylinder you want "#1".. The symptoms you describe are completely consistant with your observations.
Find TDC again on the #1 cylinder.. Pull the distributor cap.. what wire is the rotor pointing at? There is your problem. Dial in a few degrees.. 8, 10, whatever.. Pull the dist. out and realign the #1 terminal of the cap.. Problem solved..
