Timing 180° off?

[dnlcarver]

I have a 95 bronco and I just recently put a new distributor in it I put the distributor in how it was when I got the truck. But then I realized the timing is off so I put the timing gun on it and couldn't find the timing mark at the pointer so I climbed underneath of the truck and the timing is roughly 180° off from the pointer. Is it possible it could jump timing 180°? For the time being I adjusted the distributor by here to at least make it drivable but I noticed my trucks acceleration it's still not right and seems to progressively be getting worse.

Yo,

I see that you are still here, so in lieu of editing my reply and possibly you not seeing the edited version, you may need to determine top dead center.
