Tim,
Just a guess is that you did not get to TDC on the number one cylinder. I am sure you know that you will feel air coming out twice on any cylinder for each crankshaft revolution. The best way I have found to find true TDC on the compression stroke is to take the passenger side valve cover off and watch the number one cylinder intake valve rocker. When the intake valve on the number one cylinder opens and then closes watch for 0 on the harmonic balancer to come up to the pointer and that will be TDC on the compression stroke.

Just my best guess,
