with my voltmeter I cam measure 120vac when I go across neutral and
each Black and Red but when I measure across Black and Red I don't get
240vac I find that strange.

If you don't get 240v, what do you get?
If you get 0 v, it may mean your black and red are hooked up to the same
hot.

That's my guess. Based on the "N" in the breaker number he gives, I'm
guessing it's a "narrow" style not designed for the particular panel he
has and isn't picking up but one side of the main buss bars...
