I was not reading the timing correctly. At a closer inspection of the crank pulley, I noticed that there where 2 white marks. So, when I was using the timing light, it only appeared to be correct.

I took the timing cover back off and the timing was off by a few notches. I adjusted them to the correct positions and zoned in with the timing light.

Lesson learned.

I want to sincerely thank everyone for all the suggestions and help that was given. Thank you all for your support.

I have to give props and many thanks to Tracer from justanswer.com. He is very knowledgable and was able to help solve my problem even though I kept telling him the timing was correct...
Seemed like it had to be a simple human error. I'm glad you found it. I'm glad you got a lot of support. Cheers!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
