According to this there is, 9 links between the marks on the cam sprokets.

1) Tried it the way its on the pic and my car wouldn't start.

2) Move the exhaust cam sproket over one link, so now its down to 8 links. The car started but had advance my timing up to 30 deg to get it to idle smoothly.

My question is where did I go wrong??? I TDC the motor with the cams lobes pointing out everytime. Should I scrap the this mod or should I attemp it one more time??

TDC with the #1 lobes pointing straight out is correct. It sounds like you messed up your distributor alignment.
