2 ways.

1) pull the #1 spark plug and take a peek. See the top of the piston? To
get exact TDC lightly insert a long screwdriver while rotating the
crankshaft. you will feel the piston rise or fall. Adjust it until the
piston is at the highest point. 

2) Rotate the crankshaft slowly until you can see the zero timming mark
line up with the pointer on the bell housing. 


If your removing the tranny, it really doesnt matter where the piston
sits.
