Default quick ? about ignition/cam timing HELP!


i mill my head .040 (SOHC Vtec d16Z6) i know that i need to advance my cam roughly 3-3.5 degrees.
my question is how do i set up my ignition timing? do i set my crank and gear to 0' and then set my dizzy to 16' and then advance my gear 3 degrees?
-or-
do i set the crank at 0, move the cam gear to advance 3' and align to the head (wich is now zero) and then set my dizzy to 16 degrees?

in short what is the sequence of events that i need to do in order to get my ignition/cam timing back to stock with a head that is milled .040?

set the cam at 3'

then start the car and set the timing via a timing light to whatever you want - 16' would be fine.

then go to the dyno and fine tune the cam gear setting as necessary.
