Got to lookin this over again Bruce, and you did say that the dist rotor is pointing at #1 when the damper mark is at 0. So this throws everything about slipped gear/timing chain out the window. If anything has moved, it wouldn't be lined up. It would be nearly impossible for it to be exactly 180* out of time-that is it would be fireing on the exhaust-but I guess it could be. I think the thing you need to do at this point is pull the valve cover and watch the rockers as you roll the motor over by hand. At TDC on the compression stroke, both valves should be closed and the rotor should be pointing at #1. With the afore mentioned dowel in #1 hole, continue to roll the motor over and as you get to BDC, the exhaust valve should start to open. If all is well here, and you have spark and fuel, the only thing we can do is come over and perform an exorcism, cause you got some bad voodoo going on.
I'm pretty close, maybe I can roll over this weekend and we can figure this out.
