KPB: I usually either just remember where the shaft was or, more commonly, turn the engine to TDC (according to the rotor and the notch on the dist) and then yank it. There should be a thin notch at about 1:00 on the distributor and this coincides with TDC. I use a jumper cable to connect the + terminal of the battery to the 3rd terminal on the wire block behind the EFI contrul unit/below the washer resivoir. (I do it with the dist cap off, take note, your car may start by doing this if you don't - it's hotwiring it!)
