cant get my timing right, i made sure that the 0 degree mark lined up at top dead center, i even took the #1 plug out and made sure it was tdc, set my dizzy down and the rotor pointed directly back towards #1 plug wire.  connected everything and started it up, it ran with a shaky, bad miss.  i turned the dizzy both directions and it helped a little, but still had a bad miss, do i "HAVE" to unplug the thing on my passenger side fenderwell, and use a timing light to time my car correctly? or is trying to do it by ear pointless?

What year and trying to do it by ear is pointless.

Are you sure you have the HO firing order and not the non-HO order?
