Coil/plugs wired back to front maybe?
Left hand side of the motor there's a plug that needs to be removed so the timing mark is lined up for the front pot at tdc,roll it over with a timing light might make some sense of it.
There is probably someone smarter than me that will have a better fix here.

If you have stock ignition there should be some witness marks where the timing plate was originally tightened down. Pushrod would be my next guess if you have the cam installed correctky. It is easy to overtighten them, most common error is starting with them too tight while taling the free play out of them. Remember the engine was running before the work was done. Just go back over your work and you will find the problem and it will probably so simple that in the end you will be laughing about it. I know because we've all been there. Hope this helps.
