"So "technically" if I were to rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees I would be on the right side of the cycle?"

Yes, If the crankshaft wasn't on the compression stroke.

Pull the #1 spark plug and rotate the crankshaft until it is on the compression stroke (you will feel air rushing out of the spark plug hole as the piston approaches TDC). Rotate the crankshaft just enough to align the timing marks on the balancer with the timing pointer.

Next, look to see where the distributor rotor is pointing. If it is pointing opposite the #1 tower on the distributor cap, then your distributor was installed 180° out of sync.
