>>It just turns over but it tried to hit but just kills itself and if I try to get it to stay running it will cut off and pop through the exhaust

my guesses:
turn (counterclockwise, if I remember correctly) engine using a socket on crank to TDC (firing) and check Crank and Cam sync (mark TDC mark on crank, Cam pulley marks parallel to head surface with arrow/witness mark pointing up or to correct position)
check the timing with a timing gun
bad coil or ignitor (both in distributor) will cause engine to miss
distributor shaft lost lubrication or its bearings are fried (result: binding up and the timing is hosed)

take care,
