Pull the valve cover. The cam should have a mark on the sprocket or on the camshaft itself that lines up with a mark on the bearing cap. When it's aligned and you're at the 0T mark on the crank damper, you're at TDC compression on #1. Advance to 14 or 15˚ ATDC (the mark for your year/model is on the radiator support) and reinsert the IP.
