from the pics it looks like it's off a tooth. i had the same problem, it looked lined up, but it wasnt.

 

i think i might have finally got it!!!
double checking everything right now!

 

O and just curious, where exactly would you place the amperage pick up for the timing light. I am pretty sure you cant use one on our cars.

 

im not sure. when i got tuned a while back im pretty sure the guy just connected it over the wires that went to the coil packs.

 

Good Luck!!

 

Sweet! It works!!! Now i just have to break the motor in!!!
Thanks a million guys!!! i cannot even start to mention how much i appreciate you alls help!!!

 

So the cam timing WAS off?

 

timing was off. and i am so glad that thing started!!! i never heard a brand new engine started before but now i have! YESssss!!

 

yes it was. But i could not line it straight with the crank on the white mark. i had to move the crank clockwise about 1/2 and inch and then set the cams. When i did that she started right up! I am still wondering why the crank pully marks are off!

 

congrats!
