This was probably it, I can't bear to take the cam cover off... I had the rotor pointing at the mark with #1 cylinder's lobes pointing DOWN, not UP...I think that's what you meant with the "rabbit ears"! I'm very certain that I have the cams themselves lined up correctly, because I had all 3 marks within 1 degree (with a new chain and tensioner) when I had the covers off. I don't know how the heck I screwed up the distributor.
