You have timing problems by the sounds of it.

As mentioned before, you have 'TWO' top dead centers on cylinder number
one.

One is the compression stroke that you find by putting your finger in
the spark plug hole and hand turning over the engine. When the crank
pulley comes up to the 'timing mark', this will show compression under
your finger. Setting it by the rotor just does not work.... You must
use the timing marks.

The 'other' top dead center is when the exhaust valve is open so no
compression will show under you finger. If you used this TDC, the
engine won't run 'usually'

You also 'can' use a timing light to verify that you have it correct.
The timing light will spark with just the starter turning things.
