All that is 100% correct, but notice nowhere do they acknowledge that the picture "fig 26" is timed up on #6. This is what makes people slip up and get the distributor 180* out.
It does not say where you are in fig 26, agreed. But what I always figured was the Chrysler engineers meant for the two paragraphs to be used together. Set it up dot to dot for six, that's in step 11, for the timing chain. Then roll it around to one and drop in the distributor, that's in step 1 of "Distributor Timing"
