You may need to look at ignition timing -- these engines are crank triggered and have the electronics located just above the coil (module with a vacuum line going to it). The distributor is used only to dirstribute the secondary HV to the plugs ... if this is in the wrong position, you will have a poor and incorrect spark (the bolt for the dist. may be loose) -- pull the coil wire off the distributor and check the spark there.

Also ... if you have been cranking your engine for a while with fuel... the fuel will wash down the cylinder walls and into the oil .... when you get the car running again ... change the oil right away.
