Not sure if this is for your year, post that and I can help further.

It is likely the coolant is not reaching operating temperature, please verify the engine thermostat is working.

If you look in back of the engine, you will see a hole. There is a scale for the timing there. Hook up your timing light and start the engine and you will see a mark. Line up the mark to the 6 degree mark on the scale

you need to confirm back your timing marking of the engine. make sure all the mark is on the dot. even miss 1 notch it run bad.

the tension setting for the belt?

or the timing marks? the timing marks differ. best set cyl. no 1 to tdc.. take out no. 1 spark plug and put sumthin long and thin down the hole.. like a long quarter drive extension.. and check to see that cyl 1 is at tdc.. then set your cam to the OT marks marked on the cam pulley and rocker cover... then you have to set the distributor also.. slacken the 13mm bolt for the dizzy clamp... you will find a line on the lip of the dizzy body.. this needs to align with the middle of rotor arm tip... (sumtimes a mark on the roror arm tip)... tension belt and your timing is set.. set your timing incorrectly and the car will run rough and not rev past 5k...
