Take out the #1 plug, put your finger over the plug hole and bump the motor over until you feel air rushing out. That will tell you that the timing pointer is on #1 compression stroke. The #6 hole and #1 are 180 degrees apart in the firing order so compression for one is exhaust for the other. Therefore, the timing pointer could be at 10 degrees but for #6 instead of the #1 hole.
I hope I didn't make it more confusing.
