If your going things right you should be able to rotate it far enough that the starter will not be able to crank the motor over.

I can observe the timing mark coming back towards TDC so I know it's going in the right direction. I am turning the distributor clockwise as viewed from the top. Am dealing with lousy carburetor tune at the same time.
