Okay, then you have a 72-3 pulley and the second mark from the left 
IS TDC.  Why you can't get it to run there remains a mystery.

I would time it to TDC and then proceed to figure out what else is 
wrong.  SOMETHING is wrong.  Figure it out instead of just trying to 
compensate for that problem by timing it incorrectly.

Is your mechanical advance working?  What's the part number of the 
dist you have?  Is the dist drive gear installed right?
