Start from scratch, how do you set the timing starting from the timing chain if you know where top dead center is at the crank, but not the cam. When I line up the dots cam at 6, crank at 12 my rotor is not at # 1.

Does your cam and crank line up every time. If yes, that means your distrubitor is off a tooth or two. All you can really do is remove it and adjust it back and fourth till it lines up. Just make sure your crank and cam are lined up.
