Sorry for the stupid question but I’m still trying to learn.

Nope if she's 180 out it will back fire through the carb. Heck it will back fire through the carb if you 10 degrees out sometimes...lol Use a wrench on the crank bolt and turn the motor to TDC. Then pull out the distributor and make sure #1 plug wire and rotor are pointing at the #1 cylinder (first hole on drivers side).
Do you have a timing light? What is the timing you are running at idle? Is the Distributor a vacuum or mechanical advance?
Give me a call if you need some help.
