Put the engine no.1 piston on its compression stroke and line the markings at the damper to TDC/0-you can verify this by removing the dizzy cap making sure the rotor is pointing to no.1 cap tower or remove the valve cover and check no.1 valves it should be fully closed.

Aligning timing sprockets-see below Good Luck
