1:00 should be #1. Then go clockwise indeed with 5, 4, 8, 6, 3, 7, 2. #5 should be at 2:30, not 11:30. #4 at 4:00.

What do you mean "Cant get to 5° ATDC" - are you too advanced (0°, 5° BTDC) or too retarded (10° ATDC)? The car will start and run at 0° or 5° BTDC. It MIGHT at 10° ATDC, but not well.
