What kind of timing cover did you remove? Was it chrome?

the 2 plastic timing covers then the hard cam cover in the front to access the cam timing mark

There's also the Haynes manual, the factory workshop manuals, and plenty of threads here on the topic if you do a search.

If your car runs at all, then it's within a tooth or two of being correct. Do a little research and find the correct marks and check again.
