I have a Super A and just went through the same things you are dealing with. Believe me when I say that by you getting your mag in and running you will be the happyiest person around because you did it, not your friend, not your buddy but you....and if you ever have a problem again you will know exactly what to do.
On you distributor cap you want your rotor pointing to the cylinder just above the #1 printed on that cap....if you follow that wire it goes to number one cylinder on your engine. It's easy to get your number one cylinder on TDC, pull the plug like the guys have said...I reached down with my hand crank and slowly rotated the crank while with my thumb over the number one cylinder hole could feel pressure blowing out...you know your on the compression stroke. Then as soon as I could feel pressure I knew it was the compression stroke I took a flashlight and simply watched as the cylinder inside came to the top...you can actually see it....no need for a straw..you can also then see as the cylinder starts to go down....you've gone to far....don't panick I was able to just reach in grab the fan blade and slowly turn the fan blade until the cylinder went back to the very top. That's TDC.... Your mag must be pointing to #1 cylinder on your cap for it to start. You can manually turn your rotor so the mag is pointing to #1 as you line it up to connect it. You'll get it and you'll be thrilled you did. Like the guy said....you will never have to worry about your battery going dead and you will be able to start it anywhere with a mag....there the best.
