In this case your timing notches should look like this:  |     |  |  |  .

The leftmost mark is TDC.

Set the leftmost mark straight up and check the valves for #1. If one of them 
is depressed turn the engine over another full turn. Now your engine is set to 
#1 TDC.

Ignore the stamped mark on the dist. Whichever dist cap tower the rotor is now 
pointing to should be wired to #1. Continuing on in the CW direction around the 
dist cap wire the rest of the wires to SPs 4-3-2.

Static time your engine.
