uuuggghhh major timing issues

i dont know why i'm having so much trouble settin the timing on my car, Im sure i'm either overlooking something or overcomplicating things.

i have a 89 trans am w/ a 350 tpi. Ive unplugged the EST and set it to 6 degrees BTDC, when i pluged the est in and check it with my timing light and at ~2500rpms my timing is no where close to ~36.

what am i forgetting??
