Disclaimer: I am not a mechanic and I could not find this answer anywhere on the internet. But I did just replace my distributor on a 2002 Astro with a Vortec 4.3 liter. When I looked from the bottom of the engine I saw a pointer on the block (arrow). I used this to find TDC on number 1 cylinder. Afterwards, I noticed from the top that there is a "V" notch for alignment. My best guess is that if you use the arrow, use the first mark (my engine rotated clockwise). And if you use the notch, use the second mark. It probably depends on the vehicle the engine is in. As for the distributor, there is a square notch on the part that rotates (with the rotor removed) that must line up with the arrow on the distributor housing somewhere around the two o'clock position. Getting the oil pump slot to align with the tang at the bottom of the distributor can be tricky.

Do you have any pictures of a 2003 Kia Sedona timing belt mark?
I don't have pictures. There are six pulleys that the belt goes around. There are timing marks on the valve cover toward the timing belt on the front and on the rear. From the rear the marks are two o'clock and ten o'clock. Then two o'clock ten o'clock on the front valve cover. On the crank, it's at one o'clock. However there are marks to show all the timing marks. If changing the timing belt, start on the front and back around the rear down to the crank shaft.
