pull #1 or front spark plug.
take cap off distributor.
on my 90 #1 is at about 4-5 o-clock
have some one put a finger over spark plug hole and tap the key till the compression blows from the cylinder.
you will probable pass it so turn your motor to line up on tdc.
the piston is on top on #1 and #4 just check the rotor to make sure your on #1
