Default Help Car Doesnt Start

Help as best as you can.

So I was replacing my cousins headgasket I asked a couple Qs? and all I did was get flamed by HT's finest *** hats.
So now I am seeking help I have the helms manual for the job my problem is getting the cams at TDC.

I turn the flywheel where the cross is in the middle of the 2 little lines and the #1 piston is at TDC.

Oil Pump is at TDC the line on the left is even with the mark on the block.

Exhaust Cam arrow is pointing straigt up.

Intake Cam is pointing 1 or 2 teeth to the left of TDC. When I pry the cam over a couple teeth it comes back.

I have the timing belt on but I want to get it right the first time and not do it again. Thanks guys please help me out quick.

Why is there two threads?

From reading the other thread, sounds like a bad ignitor in the distributor. I had the same symptoms (doesn't turn over, let it sit for awhile, it'll start).

Swap it out with the other distributor you have.
