timing

I cant seem to find a detailed post on how to set the timing on the A4. Can someone walk me through each step to make sure timing is correct? I had to pull the distributor stem out of its gear and most likely have lost my place. Ive done what I believe is right but need reassurance cause Im trouble shooting some issue with my engine. I need to rule correct timing out. To be absolutely sure of TDC I did it with the cylinder head off. Made the #1 piston flush at the top of block with both valves closed. Then I aligned the rotor and #1 ignition wire within the D cap. then I turned the Distributor stem counter clockwise until the points began to open. Then I tightened it all down. Should this be correct rough timing?
