The Timing light will tell you that your Crank is set correctly with your Intermediate gear (The one that drives the Distributor) But your Cam gear could still be off.

Crank the motor around until the Crank mark is lined up with TDC...Pop off the distributor cap and see that the Rotor is pointing at the #1 cylinder wire.
If you are good there ( you should be by what you say) Then take off the top cover of the Timing Belt cover and see if the Cam gear is lined up with It's mark. I'm guessing it's not.

Good luck
