exhaust stroke wouldnt push your finger off,
do it again and when you get the push of air, look down at your crankshaft pulley and put the timing mark on 0*
you really should remove the valve cover so you can see where its going, but using the dist cap, mark where #1 is, (should point at the vacuum advance) then turn it past so when it slides over the gear it comes to rest on the right spot
