pull the spark plug out of the number one cylinder (they are labeled on the intake manifold) turn the crank gear ( the bottom gear) until the piston is all the way to the top of the cylinder ( use screw driver to gauge) get the dot on the crank gear (bottom gear) as close to stright up as you can get it then the dot on the cam gear (Top Gear) goes straight down. then pull your distributer cap off and point the roter bug at the number one cylinder. then your done.
