With the dots lined up on the timing set that's usually #6 firing, not #1. Line up the timing mark on the damper and if it's pointing at #1 swap it to #6, or if it's #6, swap it to #1.

Be careful with starting fluid. You can wash down the cylinder walls (even more so because it has been siting) and score or even seize the pistons.
