chevy timing marks

just finished a t bucket for action girls hubby but can't get the timing mark any closer to zero than miles away. 350 4 bolt .I checked the timing mark with other balancers and the outer hub of the balancer has has not moved. If you look at the balancer fron the front the engine seems to fine at the11 o'clock position as oppose to the straight up or the 1 o'clock position. any suggestions?

 

are you sure its the right timeing tag, are you on tdc

 

I'm not concerned about the timing tag. Yes I was at tdc

 

Once I connected the light to #2 by mistake....that would put it about where you find it....

 

Wrong pointer would be my guess. Get a timing tape.
