It could be a number of things.

I'd first make sure the cam timing is correctly set, then I'd make sure ignition timing is correctly set. Because you can't set ignition timing if the cam timing is off.

I can post diagrams of the vacuum lines if you need them. But you should start your own thread so we don't clutter up this sticky with your problem.
