If you don't have a helper or a baggie
you can watch the intake valve on #1 go down and when it comes back up to the closed position crank the pointer around (35-45*) to where Jack said.

For years it was a running joke in our family that everytime I built an engine I invariably set it up 180 degrees out of time on the initial fire up. What was screwing me up was I would set the two marks up on the timing gears pointing right at each other and think that was when I should put the rotor pointing at number one. I couldn't seem to grasp that you had to turn the crank one revolution more and then you were at TDC for the rotor.
Ever since I learned the thumb over the # 1 sparkplug hole, I have never had a problem.
