I guess as a last resort maybe you could check one more thing.
Get the engine on to the timing mark TDC for # 1 piston. It's a dog to remove the plug (front most plug on the passenger side of the engine), but I don't know of any easier way to check this without a timing light..
Get the #1 piston to come upon the compression stroke and line up the timing mark on the crankpulley. Once there , remove the dist cap and see if the rotor is pointing to the #1 plug wire terminal on the dist cap , make sure that that wire goes to the #1 plug. If it is OK that would eliminate the pin that goes through the dist gear. If it doesn't point to that terminal on the cap let us know.

As for the proper timing marks I would go with a manual like Haynes or Chilton. public libraries tend to have them.
Weak springs make your ride softer. ---Just kidding!

Weak valve springs won't be able to keep up at high rpms. They should be able to handle idle and low rpms, lets say the lower half of the range.

both mags do not show this particular balancer as the degree marks are on the balancer and not the usual timming post and the notch is 180 to the degree marks

The crank pulley should have a "0" at the beginning of the degree marks , that should be TDC. With that 0 at the pointer and the #1 piston on the compression stroke it should be close enough to make sure the rotor is at the # 1 plug wire.
When you replaced the timing chain were the correct marks on the cam gear and crank gear where they were supposed to be aligned?
A compression test could help here.

If the crank pulley spun on the hub ,the timing marks become useless, lets hope that doesn't come into the picture.
