Assuming your car is manual ignition, I would time it this way:

1. Set the distributor points gap to 12 thou fully open.
2. Remove No 4 sparkplug and the cover over the flywheel.
3. Turn the engine over until No 4 exhaust valve is fully open.
4. Turn the engine until the 1/4 mark is about 1 and 1/2 inches away from the rear stud holding the block to the crankcase (i.e 1 and 1/2 ins before TDC)
5. The engine will then be firing on No 1 cylinder. Set the advance lever to fully advance and adjust the distributor so that the points are just opening.
