Set point opening [ .018-.022"/ preferred .020"]
Locate TDC with timing pin as you did, good.
Then use continuity meter or test light to set point opening by loosening and turning rotor. Make sure all shaft back-lash is removed when doing this.
It is important to do these procedures in correct order.
