Tdc?

I search archives to no avail. Trying to adj valves and ran into prob finding #1 TDC on my 88 3.2. I lined the rotor up with the large notch on dist (not small notch like in Waynes book) and I get slight rocker arm movement on #3 cyl...NOT #1 (as if it's #3 at TDC)! #1 is rock solid, as if under pressure from cam lobes. The crank is lined up with a notch but there's nothing like in Wayne's book to know what the hell the notch means. I've adj valves on BMWs so I "sort of" know what I'm doing but this has me baffled. What am I doing wrong, other than doing something better left to better mechanics than me.
I need a Sierra Nevada.

TIA
