ae86 4ac timing problem, please help.

I set the engine to top dead center using the thumb over the number one spark plug hole method, and the timing mark on the crankshaft pully is nowhere near the 0 on the scale.

Here's a pic:

Whats the most likely cause and how can I fix this.

Ps. my car runs like sh#t and lately I can't even get it started.

Thanks,
Jason

Did you install a timing belt or did you put a new distrubutor in the car?
I need more information to help you. Or are you just trying to set the timing.
Sometimes the harmonic balancer will spin on the rubber.
