If the timing marks are lined up this way, it should run. If it doesn't, you have other problems.

yeah i set my timing just like that ive been using alldata. and thats the exact diagram i get. it just wont fire when i set distributor to #1 only when its at about #2. let me give a little background into what caused this problem. two weeks ago we went out of town on that saturday we drove the car to town. went back to our land a nd parked the car for the night. in the morning we went out and were going to go home biut the car wouldnt start right away. when it did it was missing real bad and i then found out there wasnt enough coolant i the car and it had frozen. luckily when we defrostted i there was no oil mixing with coolant and no coolant leak. did a compression test on the engine and it was god at 150# across all six cylinders. i then took apart the whole side of the engine to get to inspect the timing belt. i ligned up the marks on the cam but the crank was out about 6 teeth. so i replaced the belt and the water pump and know i cant get it to start when the distro is set on one only on two and i doesnt run very well.

I have no earthly idea why you changed a timing belt for an overheating problem. You have at minimum a blown head gasket and possibly a cracked head or block.

well i changed the timing belt because it was skipped a couple of teeth and when i pulled it off and compared to a new one it was stretched. i alos assumed that the head gasket was not blown because i ran compression check with all plugs out and there was no loss of compression and they were all at 150 psi. im at a loss of what to do know. im not sure there must be something else. causing the engine to not run. so my question know is do you really think i could have a blown head gasket and/or cracked head with the compression i am receiving?

Sure I do, more likely a cracked block. The timing belt didn't jump any teeth. It will come right off before it does that.

is there a way to check to see if the block is cracked?

Remove all the spark plugs and put the cooling system under pressure for 15 or 20 minutes and then spin the engine over and see if it spits any coolant out of any of the cylinders

checked nothing no coolant. Is there a possibility the timing could still be off a tooth or two?

You still haven't resolved the original issue of the car running low on coolant and starting to misfire. You simply resolved your timing belt issue that it likely didn't need in the first place. Those original issues tend to indicate something more serious.
