Take the #1 spark plug out and hold your finger over the hole while turning the engine over slowly. When you feel the air coming out of the hole you are approaching #1 TDC. Stop when the balancer is aligned with 0 on the timing tab.
With #1 at TDC you can drop in the distributor with the rotor pointing toward the left-front corner of the block. Put the cap on and install the wires using the tower aligned with the rotor as #1 and going clockwise with the firing order.
Sometimes you have to move the distributor around a little to get the engine to start before setting it to factory specs.
