Hold on there !
Continue to rotate the crank one full revolution in the same direction and up to TDC again. Now check the dizzy. The brass tip should point to the notch in the rim of the dist.
I think you will find that it is where it will be, or very close.
Now comes the next question.
Is it on the compression stroke ?
This can be determined in two ways.
Feel for clearance at both rockers on cyl. #1 ....or... devise a way to blow into the cylinder to verify that both valves are closed and there is near zero leakage. A compression tester hose or a leak-down hose with the schrader valve removed is good for this test.
If you can just blow through it's 360 out.
If you find this is the case, go another revolution to TDC, lift the dizzy and drop it in so that the tip points to the notch.
Easy, peasey.
