incorrect timing causing problems

[scato]

yesterday my bro decided it would be smart 2 remove my distrubuter from the engine. so after a couple hours we got the car from no where to tdc and got everything workin again. stated the car was running correct after some corrections. so i test drove and it was all good. i turn off the car. later i decide to go out. i get nowhere..... car wont start. and now i have no clue. so it sat last nite and i goto crank it 2day, and it fires right up, but it was idleing high then it would idle @750 then it jumped up to 1500revs and so i turned it off, and now i get nothing again. my dad said sounds like a rod, but is there anything else it could be? am i missing ne thing?

Timing off, vacuum leak, etc.

yeah, get a timing light and check your timing again.
