pointing at #1, the pointer on the crank pulley is pointing at an "M"

reference book), and both valves are closed the cam lobes are nowhere
near to pointing straight out. This may just be the way an injected 1750
is supposed to be, since the timing marks are awfully close at this point...

Scott, the "M" on the crank pully indicates maximum advance, used for 
dynamically timing the ignition. You are looking for TDC, indicated by 
the "P" mark (Punto) on the crank pulley. Then the marks on the cams 
should line up with the marks on the front-most cam caps (for stock 
valve timing). Try to find your reference book. The pictures and 
diagrams will help more than anything else.
