Did you confirm that it was at TDC on the compression stroke when you set the balancer to zero degrees?
Do this: Remove the #1 spark plug (Forward most on the passenger side). Get a paper napkin or paper towel, wad it up into a tight ball, and stuff it into the #1 spark plug hole. Use your remote starter to just bump the starter. Just tap it. Keep tapping it until the napkin pops out. At that point, check the timing marks and rotate the crank until the zero degree mark lines up. It should be very close when you check it after the napkin pops out. That is TDC on the compression stroke. This is when you want the rotor pointing to the #1 plug wire on the distributor cap.
HTH.
Take care,
