Timing Help

I've got a 94 xj Auto trans 4.0

i went to do a tune up the other day and when I took the cap off I snapped both the screw off in the dizzy (appeared to be original cap and rotor at 175K!). Anyways I had to replace the dizzy...set it to TDC and got it at 11 and 5 and ran beautiful. After burning through a tank of gas much quicker than normal I threw a timing light on it and I'm around 8* before TDC(not sure cause I didn't clean off the numbers). Now my question is do I go 1 tooth clockwise or counter clockwise? Also I read something about aligning it with a toothpick but I can't find the writeup on that for the life of me.
