@casebeertim as a rule of thumb the first thing you will have to do is find the timing marks on the crank pulley, Rotate the engine to top dead center of #1 cylinder. Pull #1 spark plug out and put a hose in that hole, then rotate engine. When you hear air coming out then you know it is in the compression stroke, exactly where you want to be. Rotate to top dead center (check the marking on the crank pulley).

Find the #1 spark plug wire hole on the distributor cap. This is where the rotor will point to when installed correctly. The biggest issue here is that you are at top dead center with the number 1 piston. It has to be on the compression stroke. After that once the engine is running you'll need a timing light to properly set the timing on your vehicle.
