Timing belt change issues

Timing belt change issues
I am in the middle of changing the timing belt on my 1997 civic ex (non-vtec). The belt has never been changed and the timing was around 8* retarded when I started the change.
I have the camshaft at TDC (word "UP" is vertical). The crank sprocket timing mark is lined up with the arrow on the oil pump. But when I replace the crank pulley, the timing marks are still off just like before the change. If I adjust the crank pulley, the crank sprocket timing marks are no longer lined up. so, I am confused as to what to do. i can rotate the engine just fine. There is no interfearance.
Any suggestions???

I think I realize what my problem is. I am trying to line up my ignition marks (the 3 lines) and not the timing mark (the single line). That would make more sense on what I am seeing.

Also, remember that you have to put your timing belt cover back since it also has some marks that need to line up. Here a link to a diy that I used when I did mine.
