i also have one mark on my cam gears which i line up with the notches on the backing plate....
As for the crank pulley. it was aligned to 0 as well...
is that how it should be???
i will be seeking to change my distributor O-ring soon and i havent checked to see if the distributor was aligned to 1 in the cap when the markings on the cam gear are aligned to nothes on the backing plate..
my timing is definitely out though as we speak..

It sounds like your cam and crank is correct if you are seeing the crank at 0 and the cams pointing to the notches in the cam cover.
The distributor you need to align and insert when the motor is at TDC, you need the crank at 0 and cams pointing at the notches to inert it correctly. See below
you turn the crank to zero, then check that the cams marks are pointing straight up at the notch on the covers.
If they aren't, you turn the crank around one more time and then check again, now they should be pointing at the notch in the covers. if it isn't after the second turn something is wrong.
sometimes a picture is the best, and also has the distributor installation part.
