i got my car to start finally, had the spout out and set it at 10*.. Then as soon as i put the spout it the mark moves to the left of the marker about an inch. Is this normal and am i at 10* still? Any help would be appreciated because i need to drive this thing in a couple hours. THanks!

Yes, it's normal...your base timing is still set to 10*.

Werd, your spark is going to vary from 10*-26* with the spout in.

lol, that would be a pretty accurate description . It's a jumper.
Basically, when you have it out, you can set your base timing. When you pop it back in, the computer will add timing on top of your base timing according to conditions.
