I'm not sure what you mean by "the dimple is just past the timing pin hole". The timing pin should fit into the dimple in the cam gear. The dimple and the timing pin hole should be in alignment.

When timed correctly, the rotor should be approximately in this position relative to the #1 contact on the distributor body with the lever on the column in the fully retarded (up) position.



The dotted lines are where the rotor should be with the lever on the column in the fully advanced (down) position.
