Each piston has TWO TDC's in its cycle.

One at the end of exhaust stroke and one just before Power stroke
as mentioned earlier.

You need the 2nd one.

Also there are different timing settings per whatever engine you actually have
which is why I usually instruct people to go to the 385 enigne forum where ALL the 460's are discussed.
