True, but you know about where #1 is, so if it's off buy about 180°, turn it 
over again.
Something else you might (should) do is to remove #1 plug, bring the engine 
around to almost TDC, slide a straw thru the plug hole and then watch the 
straw.
When it stops coming out of the head, and starts to go back, check your 
indicator on the damper and see if it has slipped some.
Work it back and forth several times until you have it exactly at the top. 
The timing marks on the front of the engine should show 0, or TDC.

Harmonic dampers are rubber bonded to the hub and sometimes slip around 
some.
That can drive you nuts when you "Know" it's timed correctly and it still 
runs bad.

Negative, the piston will come up twice to TDC per each revolution of the
distributor, you're working on a 4 cycle. It doesn't matter where you start
with the wires as long as you have the sequence (firing order) correct. Of
course a concours judge might throw you out of the tent.
