ON the sf and gt The oil pump gear has an arrow pointing to the crankshaft gear for alignment timing. I have an older model that does not have the mark on the crank gear. OK I understand that you put the oil pump gear at TDC and then the crank at TDC. Ok I have not split it yet. When turning the engine I see that the oil pump gear goes 180 to the bottom as the crank has rotated a full circle. When I split it will it make a difference? I mean if the crank was 180 degrees off would you be able to change the plug wires to compression or would it be 180 off?

180 degrees out has no effect, you can either swap the wires from the points (or other ignition if it has two pickups) or the plug leads.
