Okay so, FML. Iether the tape is wrong or the distributor gear is off? I'm gonna say the tape is probably wrong... I'm gonna pray that it's just the tape. I wish I could show the timing tape and light but every video doesnt come out. Any thoughts on next step, I know that I set up the cam with a cam degree wheel. The piston was set to TDC with the cam gear facing #1 sparkplug on the compression stroke. I guess I'm pulling the radiator to get to the balancer and checking that it hasnt moved. I'll take a picture of the tape as it sits on the balancer. I know this doesnt tell you whether or not the tape is in the right position but I think its facing the wrong way now.
