Now, help me out - I have trouble grasping the concept of a spark being
360 deg out of sync. Wouldn't 360 deg bring it right back to where it
started?

Only a guess, but . . . Since the crank turns twice for each firing stroke,
the distributor turns at half crank speed. A 360 degree timing error
measured at the crank would be a 180 degree error at the distributor.
