You need to reposition the No. 1 piston to TDC (top dead center). You can do this by removing the spark plug from the No.1 piston and feel for compression as the crankshaft is turned. Or, you can rotate the crankshaft by hand with a large breaker bar and socket and align the the crankshaft vibration damper scribe mark to the TDC mark on the timing chain cover, while the distributor rotor points to the distributor cap terminal that fires the number 1 cylinder.
