It all depends on how the distributor was installed last. If it's been removed, it may no longer be "clocked" to factory specs. When in doubt, pull the rocker cover on the #1 side, then turn the engine by hand until you see one of the #1 valves open. Keep going until you have one of the valves opening and the other closing. At that point you are 360 degrees out of TDC. On the harmonic balancer, mark the point where they cross. If you still have timing indicator next to your harmonic balancer it should be pointing to the TDC line if the cam has been set up right. Once you get the engine to that point, turn the crankshaft all the way around once (360 degrees) by hand and now the rotor in your distributor should be pointing at #1.
