is my timing right?(with pics)

i have been going through my engine and i know i have lack of compression on all cylinders. i read that it could be because the cam is off a tooth or more. i have attached pictures is this right? also am i right to say that the small notch is the timing notch on the crankshaft? and the arrow the cam mark?

1989 camaro the engine is a 2.8 V6 FI with automatic trans

Re: is my timing right?(with pics)

The timing looks good bro. Whats the issue? If she doesnt start up and begins to backfire from the intake, then you may of had lined up the marks on the exaust stroke. No worries though. All you have to do is loosen up the dizzy, pull it up and rotate the rotor 180* and drop her back in. Make sure to pull out the dizzy far enough because if you dont, the slot that is in the bottom of the dizzy shaft will turn the oil pump shaft and it will be very difficult to sit the dizzy back down onto the oil pump shaft. Then give her a shot.
