Sounds like you have it set 180 out or on the exhaust stroke, pull the #1 spark plug, turn motor over till cylinder is tdc. Then set cap and distributor, not accurate but close enough to get it running.

In order to set the timing on any of the vortec 350(5.7) engines you must know the timing sequence and they all must be perfect to run right or it will pop and spit or backfire...the firing order is still 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and if 1 or 6 is crossed up it absolutely will not run and also if its not on the compression stroke it won't run right either
