Installed new head gasket on a 7mge and now the ignition doesn't work

Thanks again for your help. I wound up tracing my ignition problem back to a blown AM1 fuse. I got the car turning over, but I still wasn't getting fire. I solved that problem when I discovered my intake can gear was 1 tooth out of time and my distributor was 180 degrees off. So now I have the car running, but I have my distributor adjusted all the way to one side of my adjustment and the car has a miss. I put new spark plugs in when I reinstalled the head, but there has been a lot of timing adjustment done since then. Do you think I could have fouled a plug in this process or do you think I am still having timing issues? Also, my oil pressure is reading very low at idle speed and increases to about 30 as I rev the motor. Is this normal?
