spark is done #1 firing not 4 but you can in fact time at #4, only means the book instructions are now wrong, it uses #1. (all books in print)
whats different?, just that the #4 rotor now point to #4 not 1.
The maker did that so they didnt need 4 photos and 4 sets of instructions, and the firing ordes is 1,3,4,2
and folks get confused with 4,2,1,3 order, laying down the hv fires. (scratch head)
so if rotor was to be at #1 (1,3,4,2 )order.
then where would the rotor point for #4 , easy 180degrees on rotor to opposite of 1pm.
curious why not do it the book way, with cam mark E , at 6pm. and crank at TDC 0 ( valve lash #1 loose)
cam e key is at 6pm for #4 firing (for belt timing)
cam e key is at 12pm for #1 firing. (for distrib. timing)
good a fitting rotor, one less variable....
the red dot is at 4 now. rotor tip.

cam as you had it (e at 12pm mark)
rotate crank 360degrees, cam move 180 deg.
e mark at 6pm
#1 valves loose (lash)
drop rotor, it has only 13 teeth,
drop rotor so that rotor points to #1 like above, centered on cap #1 HV post. (cap on, cap off, yah its right
clamp the bolt down on side, then start it and set timing with timing freeze jumper in places to hood sticker timing, 5d BTDC?
