Default HELP needed!

I just rebuilt my motor and got it in. It turns over and fires but doesn't run. It has weak spark and sounds like only two cylinders are running. Would timing being off cause this problem.

Yup.

You sure you don't have your distributor flipped 180?

Also check simple things like spark plug wires and the firing order, I've made that mistake a few times in my life with various cars.
