Look's like Harbor Freight has the dial indicator kit that would be perfect for finding TDC.

Don't do it that way. You'll never get it perfect.
You use the solid stop thing? Maybe It would help if I told you what I am doing. The 394 cylinder I am running is ported and runs like crazy I want to see what changes were made to the cylinder to get this kind of power.
Yes positive piston stop is the only way. TZ250 did an excellent thread on it.
Just got thinking about this, every engine has TDC Dwell, the trick is how long it is, and how it affects the combustion cycle, that's why you map. You also have a certain amount of BDC Dwell, I can see how the solid stop would be faster and cheaper, as well as accurate, but I was taught to do it on V-8's with a dial indicator, it is pretty much the same thing I like your way because it uses the K.I.S.S. principal.
