Default timing

I just recently took out the distributor to change the gasket. I put the first cylinder at tdc and made sure I knew where the button was pointed the right way. Week out the distributor back in the same exact way it came out and the keep will NOT run what in the heck am I doing wrong? Its my daily driver and its not doing any daily driving!lol can someone help at all?
