Default timing chain marks (need help fast)

i am ready to takethe chainoff and i am setting up TDC but I dont think it is lining up right, on the cam gearis a dimple and a scribe lineand on the crank gear is a dimple. I can get the two dimples to line up but the rotor on the distributer is 180 out from position one. If I line up the crank dimple to the cam scribe line the roto on the distributer is at position one. The book I have shows thedimples lining up not a line. Not sure what to do.

with the timing gear on the crank, and the chain arround it with the cam gear in the chain, put the dampener back on and with your hands turn the crank a tad. Try to align thekeyway that way
