I would turn the engine over till the rotor pointed to the number one cylinder on the cap.Thenwhen you put the new one in make sure the rotor is pointing to the number one cylinder on the cap.That will get you close then you will need a timing light to set the timing.

The timing is not adjustable on this one and the distributor cannot be turned once dropped in so if you get the right tooth, you're good..
