how to set the timing on 91 200

I have a timing light but have never used it. I know about hooking up to battery and hooking the other clip to #1 plug wire and I know how to adujust the distributer. I know where the timing mark is on the plastic cover above the crankshaft pulley and with my 230 engine it says to put it at 12 degrees+-4 degrees at 750rpm. That is what is says in my repair book. Do I put a white mark on the pulley just below the 12 degree mark and then as it spins adjust the distributer until the light blinks right with the dot I put on the pulley. I am just a bit confused on that part of it. Help would be much appreciated.
