you need to set the dwell (middle point of no movement, if that makes sense, )
both for TDC, you zero the crank timing gauge you have setup,

then when valve is at full lift, this is your other set point, when both are matched, lock (and mark!!) the vernier pulley in place.

drive the car, smile, take pictures and tell your friends how much of a god you are! Man mission accomplished, with pictures to prove!!
