Turn the crankshaft pulley until the 0* mark lines up with the timing pointer

On the compression stroke. Drop the dizzy in with the rotor pointing to the #1 position on the cap.

I have a hose that is threaded on one side that I screw into the spark plug hole but You could just put Your finger on the #1 hole and have someone turn engine till it blows Your finger off the hole.
