Well, I got it figured out. Turns out it was the harmonic balancer (I know you might be thinking..."huh?"). Apparently on some of the aftermarket ones, I was reading about how the outer band (where the timing marks are) can actually slip if it is worn and/or faulty. After reading about that I actually checked to see if TDC was actually TDC on the balancer. I couldn't even see the timing marks when it was at actual top dead center, so it was way retarded. I remarked tdc and re-set the distributor and got all cylinders to fire. After running it for about a minute, I checked my new tdc mark to actual tdc and it had already moved again.
That was a really frustrating, costly and time consuming, stupid ordeal but, I'm happy the problem is solved. Thanks to everyone for your input!
