Which marks? To set fuel sync, I don't think that is set at TDC.... Have a service manual for your truck yet? If not, get one here. Setting initial fuel sync process is in there. (look in the engine section, under distributor remove and replace)
So other than marks lined up I need to do something to distributor?
Hhhhmmmm....... Thinking on this a bit more.... if you had lined the dots up wrong, the engine wouldn't even start... (180 degree out on timing) If you didn't disturb the distributor, that should all be good.
Are you just getting a bit of a miss at idle? What kind of shape are the rest of the ignition parts in? (cap, rotor, wires, plugs) Is fuel pressure good?
Given that your chain actually broke....... You may want to do a compression test. As I think pistons can actually meet valves in these motors. Not 100% sure on that though.
