If you use the correct keyway, it should be fine.

If i line it up with the correct mark which is the circle-"timing straight up". The key doesnt match on the crank. Gonna have to call cloyes.

Use the rounded keyway (stock) slide the gear on the crank, then turn it to "straight up".

Are you replacing the whole timing set or just the crank gear? The Cloyes gear does not look like it is made for a stock chain.
