The timing is set with the ignition on and the spark plug out and grounded so you can see exactly where the fire occurs.
I found it very easy to remove the plug, insert a dowel or pencil and rotate the engine until you see/feel the piston is at TDC,, then make marks on the case and drive hub to reference and align during the set up
