Post cam and crank timing

ok its not easy walking in the dark to town at night becouse all day i am working on the car and then hurrying home sorry about the previous post

just forget that existed the problem now is camshaft and crankshaft timing i know its hard for you guys when you'd rather be off doing something better just bear with this for a sec you've all been very patient today i set the crank shaft like this :

1) on the crankshaft pulley the marking the is a point saying 0T i first set the crank shaft at that point and camshaft at the 0T point, then it seemed like there was no compression when we started just a whirring sound like the pistons was just moving and not compressing the diesel

2) then 180 degrees or so passed the 0T mark on the pulley there was a mark it does not say anything just a line i asumed after failing last time with the pully at 0T i woulsd set it at this mark and set the camshaft at tdc mark
so crank shaft at the mark with no letters or numbers just a line (180 degrees or so passed the 0T mark) and cam shaft at tdc mark, now it started but on push start that too with a great difficulty it was smoking too and had low torque if you let go of the accelerator the car would stall so holding the accelerator we got home in the car and the car has insufficient torque to run on the 3rd gear what do i do

i hope tis is more clear so the issue here is the cam and crankshaft timing the injector pump is set ok and i know how to set it now (no doubts) :-) this is how tings are :
