The red dot or punch mark on the magnet rotor gear should be in the up position and align with the "A" mark on the distributor gear.

Tough to find a good picture, here's all that I could find:

Thankz Bruce
I'll give that a try.

Thankz Old Magnet
My gear has only a slot that lines up with the key-way. If I line that up with the "A" on the rotor gear, I get a good spark. I also talked to Standard Magneto who agreed. Now if I follow my manual and Bruce's instructions and line up the "A" with the line on the points plate, the "M" on the main gear is one tooth out. I'll try both ways. This is all an adventure. Nice to have you guys to lean on!

Did you check the back side of the gear for a timing mark? If there is no mark then the key slot would probably be correct.

If you had the breaker plate off and points assembly as well you will have to reset the edge distance with the 0.068 in. gauge through the small cover plate on the bottom of the mag. This will require rotating the entire breaker plate assembly and may bring all the timing marks back into alignment.
