If the mark on the camshaft pulley is aligned with the top of the inner timing belt cover, Figure 4-3, page 3-13 of the 85 and later Bentley, then the rotor should be pointing at #1.

Remember, also, that there are TWO TDC's....one is right, and one is wrong if you are setting the dist up to #1.
I'm sure you can figure it out...
