I have heard there is a lot of slop in the inernals of the engine and the average used distributor to get the timing spot on using the timing marks. Since there is no exposed crankshaft end a degree wheel does not help. Jack A. wrote a "how to" time the V-4 and I beleive it can be found when searched for on this or the Vintage B.B. There is a guy in the US who gets good reviews when he rebuilds and adjusts the advance curve/weight on V-4 distributors. He also suggests retaing the point system over electronic. I have heard the advance curve/weights on the 1969 units was/are the corect choice.
