1996 Chevy Cheyenne timing mark

Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Chevy Cheyenne 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I just removed the intake to replace manifold gaskets. Foolishly did not mark distributor position. Got no.1 piston up on compression stroke, balancer mark aligned with notch, rotor set to no. 1 wire, and doesn't start.
Question; There is a white dot on the c'balance ahead of the timing mark slot. Does this white dot serve any purpose related to timing.
