If the spark isn't happening at the right time, it doesn't matter if you have spark. Either the static timing is wrong, or, even if the camshaft is timed correctly to the marks on the flywheel, the marks on the flywheel are wrong for some reason.

That's why I said make a piston stop, and physically verify the timing. Not just, 'do these marks and these marks like up'? But actually checking the flywheel marks against actual crankshaft position, using a piston stop, and to get really precise, a degree wheel, but I doubt it'll be necessary, it's probably off by a ton. Did you spray the fluid directly into the combustion chamber?

You could do a leakdown test, but odds are that if it passes a compression test, the leakdown is fine. How much compression psi did you have?
