Do yourself a favor and don't do that.

About the "spark spark", if you remember inside the distributor cap, that
there are "three sets of two" connections on the cap.  They aren't REALLY
close together, but they aren't evenly spaced.  The spark should spark in
the same fashion.

Maybe I'm not paying attention, but I didn't read a message saying that
you have checked the spark and fuel.  Did you do martin's (?) fuel
distribution test with the washer to make sure that the fuel is OFF with
the throttle off and ON with it partially open?

About the spark, there is an EASY test to make sure that spark is working
right.  You don't even have to remove your spark plugs, you just need $12
for 6 extra plugs.  Make sure these plugs are identical to the ones in
the head.  Pull off all the plug wires and hook them up to your free
plugs.  Touch them all to a ground.  You can hold them with your hands as
long as you are not too close to anything grounded (you will find out if
you are too close).  Turn over the engine.  All 6 should spark.  If you
are good, you might be able to verify that they are sparking in the
correct order.  

About timing, you're sure that you are on the right stroke, right? 
Compression stroke not exhaust?  The cam turns once for the engine
turning twice, and this is very easy to do.
