Let me knock down the weeds for you now. I think you got it line up the dots. Next step rotate the crank and observe the cam lobes or push rod if heads are on.
If you rotate through as the #1 comes to TDC, neither intake nor exhaust should be moving. If you're seeing the transition from exhaust over to intake opening, you're off by 180 on the camshaft/distributor, or 360 on the crankshaft, however you want to look at it. Once you at TDC work on dropping your distributor in that will be the ignition timing. All the info above is good. but can be confusing. REMEMBER as said earlier 720 degrees of rotation (2 full crank rotations)
