Answer
Generally if you can't ever get the timing right on, then you either have a problem with the timing belt or the distributor. I would first verify that the timing belt is timed correctly and that it isn't missing any teeth or anything. You can also take the distributor cap off and try to turn the rotor and see if it moves a lot. There will be some play in it but if moves a lot then you might have a problem with the distributor gear.
