H-Dog,

From your posts, you putting everything back on the engine that came off it, I would say that you probably have a balancer that has failed.

If by chance you have installed a balancer with the timing marks aligned for reading from the drivers (left) side of the car, you can read this balancer from the passenger side (where the pointer is located) by using clyinder #2 for your timing light trigger. You can check (prove) this by doing the TDC check on cylinder #2 and observing the timing marks on the balancer.

Also, if the pointer is on the drivers side and the balancer is marked to read on the passenger side, you can take the trigger from cylinder #5 to correctly read the timing marks.
