Ok, I checked TDC today and this is what I found. While turning the motor by hand, my father in law held his finger in the spark plug hole. As the #1 cylinder started up he felt the air pressure. When the notch was roughly 45 degrees from the timing mark, the air pressure stopped, like a valve opened, and then after turning it a little more, the air pressure came back until I lined the notch up. The missing tooth on the sprocket behind the harmonic balancer is positioned at around 7-8 oclock. This really seems to tell me that the motor is out of time somehow. What do you think?

Yet, when I click on the link to your post the above information isn't there! Weird.
I agree though the motor is likely way out of time which would certainly account for the no-start problem. Hopefully somebody else on the forum can give you a more helpful answer than I can.
