Timing questions

[mdskinner731]

i installed my new head,intake,and exhaust gaskets this past week!!! got the new timing belt!! set cyl #1 at TDC then postioned distributor rotor on plug wire #1 & set the cam mark at 12o'clock got the belt on!!
the problem is that there is spark; gas & compression but no combustion i assume the timing is off??? any ideas and pionters as to what i did wrong??? :smash:

You set the cam in the wrong position. the pointer shouldnt be pointing up if the crank is at TDC on the timing mark on the crank pulley. Theres 3 plastic tabs right under neath the cam gear and the pointer should be pointed as close as possible to the middle tab while the crank is at TDC.
