Default Timing Issue. Boosted D16Z6, cant get 16 base degrees

Having some issues with my timing. I have no more room for advancing on my dizzy and my timing gun is saying its at 2 degrees. if i advance my distributor beyond its limits(remove bolt) i can line up the red mark to the cover but it doesnt seem right.

i checked my timing. at tdc the marks line up fine. help!

motor at idle, timing gun set to 2 degrees.


dizzy maxed out.

pictures of my cam gear and timing marks:





ok so after a closer second look, it seems the cam is off by a few teeth. my motor seemed to be running fine. would a few teeth off still run decent?

anyway, taking the belt off now. hope this is it.

z6s don't line up with the head, there is a 6 o'clock mark on the gear that you line up with the plastic cover behind the cam gear. in that picture the cam gear needs to go counterclockwise 1 tooth
