Take the driver side valve cover off. Remove all of the plugs. Rotate the engine by hand using a 15/16 socket on the balancer. Watch the timing mark on the balancer. Somewhere around lining up 0 on the timing tab and the timing mark on the balancer, you should find that both rockers on the #1 cylinder are kinda loose. This should be TDC on #1.
