The paint blob is not the mark, there should be a scribe line under the blob that precisely indicates where TDC is. If you can not find that mark, I would go by the piston position.

Where is this smoke coming from?

I've had similar readings... different wires... People said bad ground... sure enough, a connector was loose.
