still trying to set the timing on my 44 H, I'm clo

I was able to get the hand crank working, actually the wife was able to. Anyway. Ok guys, I got it to backfire I thought I set the TDC on the no:1 cylinder, and the wires from the spark plug to the Dist. 1 on 1, 2 on 3, 3 on 4, 4 on 3. I know this is wrong but this is what I did and it backfired through the muffler so something was slightly correct, right?. I had set the TDC with the single notch on the crank and not the double notches. I felt for the compression, I let go of the starter and it stopped right on the single notch so this is when I tried firing it up, and it backfired. I tried this a couple of times and it would only backfire each time I tried it. Plus it blew out carbon each time out the exhaust. Eventhough the wiring was incorrect I thought it might be right and that I was just on the exhaust stroke and not the compression stroke, so I thought I just needed to change it over 180 degrees, I did this and then I didn't get a back fire or anything. So now I am back to square one. After reading my owners manual, it says to set the TDC on no:1 by hand cranking the motor until the timing pointer is at the first of the double notches. Is this correct, by doing this will the TDC be set correctly on the no:1? And then you need to time the Dist. to the motor, correct?
