I pulled the plug on the bellhousing to line up TDC on fly wheel. Easy enough.... however, when the mark on the flywheel is lined up, the camshaft slot looked like this

Any thoughts?
I spun the motor until the cam lined up and the first lobes were both up and the IP marks lined up as they should, but then had nothing on the flywheel. When I had the flywheel so that the marks lined up I marked the front pulley so I could see how far off I was. I marked the pulley so the yellow line was straight up. When i lined up the cam and IP where they should be the pulley looked like this.

Looks to me like its about 110 or 115 degrees off of being straight up.
So now I want to replace the IP, do i leave this timing as it is? Put the new IP on and see how it runs or do I address this now? Can i remove the timing belt and somehow get the crank to line up? I'm worried if I take off the timing belt and try to turn the crank I wont be able to get it where it needs to be because of interference. I am very lost. Any input would be appreciated
