If I remember right, on my 383, the marks are in 2 degree incriments and should have a 0 mark somewhere on the tab.

I think he means camshaft timing; install the sprockets dot-to-dot.

The TDC mark on the damper aligns twice during each full cycle, once on #1 compression and again on #6 compression. Be sure it's TDC on the compression stroke when pointing the rotor at wire #1.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

terrible one

I believe it's both dots at the 12 o'clock positions instead of dot to dot:
