Take the distributor cap off and check that the rotor points at the small notch on the body of the distributor, AND that the degree wheel is at 0 (if it isn't, rotate the engine again 360 degrees). At this point, BOTH cams should be very, very close to their zero marks on the cam towers. IF not, you got a problem...and it's amazing that nothing...uhhhh..."bad"...has happened.
