Before you start flipping the coil, be sure that the engine fires #1 in time with the mark on the balancer. Just get a timing light and check it with all the wires connected and someone else cranking.

There have been cars where the crank sensor gets damaged from a backfire. And others that have the timing chain jump. A timing light will help tell the real story.
Thank you For the info Keller, I'll pull out the timing light when I get home today.
