The () is the distributor. Also the numbers are marked on the harmonic balancer itself rather than the meter on the timing cover with a line on the balancer like GM's have. Make sure you are on the compression stroke on #1 and if you pass it do not turn the motor backwards as this will create slack in the timing chain.

i'm just saying, if your at TDC on #1, and the rotor is pointing inbetween #8 & #4, either the cam/chain is off(which wouldn't be likely if you purchased a short block) or the distributor(which you installed yourself) is off
