JMOR has it right. Remove spark plug from #1 cylinder (the one at the front of the engine). Hold your finger over the spark plug hole and rotate engine until air is pushing past your finger- that means you are on the compression stroke for that cylinder. When that piston gets to top dead center, the rotor in the distributor will be pointing to where the plug wire to #1 cylinder should be in the cap.
Couple of tips- take all the spark plugs out, so the engine will turn over easier for your assistant, who will be using a wrench on the front crank bolt to turn it over. Also, might want to do it with the valve cover off, so you can see when both valves on #1 are closed, which will be at TDC.
