Hi, yes, as I said in my previous post, my brother ran his 454 with D-179 about a month like that except it would start without ether, just a lot of starter rolling.
It is very easy to try, just remove IP timing cover and mark the timing gear hub to gear position, determine the proper rotation of the IP and remove the three bolts out of the timing gear hub and put a wrench on the the big nut on IP drive shaft and rotate the IP drive shaft 1 revolution in direction of IP rotation, realign your previous marks and reinstall the three bolts in the hub.
If it is worse then remove hub bolts and rotate IP shaft 1 rev and align marks and reinstall hub bolts.
On my brothers D-179 when it was properly timed the hub bolts were in the center of the slots in the hub. I cannot remember the position of the key way in the IP drive shaft for 3 cyl D-179 but I do remember on the 4 cyl D-239 engine, proper IP timing is when key way on IP drive shaft is at 11 O'clock position.
The reason it can be 180 out of time is the IP pump only turns at one half the speed of the crankshaft.
If the timing is too fast engine will kick back on the starter, if too slow engine will be hard to start and smoke. When timed properly on a warm engine the D-179 will start in less than a revolution of the engine.

In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
