I'm guessing that you thought you should be
pointing to spark plug #1 because
you brought the timing mark up to TDC.
However, since the crankshaft makes two
revolutions for each one of the camshaft,
you should be pointing to plug #1 at TDC
on every other revolution of the crank, and
180 degrees away on the other. Assuming nobody pulled that distributor out
since the last time the engine ran, your timing
is probably right where it belongs and you
are sitting at TDC on the exhaust stroke of
cylinder #1 and not the compression stroke.
