Cranking clockwise from 12:00 to 10:30 is nearly one full revolution of the crankshaft, and you're not seeing any movement of the distributor until then? That is not normal, the distributor should respond nearly immediately to any crank rotation. My guess is you have stripped teeth on your timing gear.
