Setting timing with IP lock tool.... Why won't the plunger set?

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong here I went as far as I could each way while rotating the plunger on the IP camshaft lock nut tool and it won't go in any further than what it did when it threaded. Did I not mess with it enough? Isn't 14 ATDC an acceptable value for setting it (1* advanced)? I'm not supposed to be at 23* BTDC am I?! Is there something I need to check other than just ATDC on the harmonic balancer?

Thanks,
