Be careful here, the top dead center on the crank pulley will show the
TDC of cylinders 1 & 4. If the car is running now, find the wire on the
cap that goes to number 1 cylinder and mark the distributor housing.
Remove the cap and rotate the engine until the rotor points near the
mark on the distributor and then use the crank pulley to locate the TDC
for number 1.
