Thanks For The Respond, Now There Is Just One More Thing...on My Timing Marks There Are Three Marks In A Line From Left To Right 1...2...3. Which Mark Is 0 Tdc, 1st , 2nd Or 3rd Mark?

The pulley turns clockwise when you look at it from the front, right? If so, I guess 0* would be the farthest clockwise. On mine, the marks are 0-5-10, and I set the timing to 5, the middle one. I am guessing you would want to aim for the middle one too. I think your timing is supposed to be 8* BTDC? So maybe your 3 marks are 0-8-16?

Ya Thats What I Did Except I Set It At 7.5 Btdc, Seems To Be Running Fine Now. Thanks For The Help. Now Im Just Not Sure Wether Its A 472ci Or A 500ci, Need To Check My Numbers.
