Not always the case. If the shaft is out of alignment the points may be opening at a time when the rotor button is not properly lined up with one of the contacts for a HT lead. Again, I have not worked on a petrol Patrol so I can't say for certain. A workshop manual should show how to test the correct alignment.
BTW, what gap did you set the points at or did you use a dwell meter?

So you had someone stick their finger in the number one spark plug hole as you manually turned the engine over, to see that it was on the compression stroke? Or if you are by yourself, remove the other five plugs and manually turn the engine until you feel compression to make sure it is not 180 degrees out.

My advice is: not to follow my advice.
