Cam Timming?

I jumped timing and cant get it back to stock timing. Ive tried eight times now. The first five times I used the crank pulley (@0deg) and a antenna in #1 cyl to find tdc. I set it to how it looks in the fsm and it barely ran. Then I tried four different setting and those did not run at all. Then on here I read that for the ve you can not use the crank pulley to set tdc, rather rely on putting something in the #1 cyl, eyeball it to tdc then change set the int cam to 10 o’clock and exh at 12 o’clock. It fired up but was running ruff. I then set the intake that was more at 11 to 10, fired it up. ran better but was not top notch. But that looked more in the middle of 11 and 10 like 10:30. So I set it one more tooth back and it was more at 10 and exh at 12. Cranked it up and it idled smooth. Checked the timing and set it to 15deg. Got in the car to take it for a drive and it wont rev. Basically If you punch it in neutral it will take couple of seconds to get to 3k rpm. So rather then experiment with different settings for another day, is there a way to set the cam timing? how many links is there between the dot and 12 o’clock? Ive spent 10hrs messing with it, there has to be a more efficient means of doing this.

Got the right on the 10th time. Checked the links and position. It was where I started off. Turned out to be my timing gun took a crap and is reading 40+deg. Looks like I wasted 10hrs of my life. Oh well. Atleast now I can change cams with my eyes closed lol.
