Rebuilt 318 install problem

This is not insulting...everyone here is trying to help you. It has been suggested several times to check with a piston stop to get true TDC. Get an old sparkplug and make one in 10 minutes. That will tell you with 100% certainty if the timing chain and balancer is correct. If it doesn't match your "new" balancer, either the balancer is wrong or your chain is on wrong. (next step added below) If it is correct pull the cap and make sure it is pointing to #1 wire/tower and #1 is drivers side. LH front. When a chain goes on dot to dot that is #6 firing not #1.
Then you need to check the valves to make sure when TDC they are closed. Just to make sure that was clear.
