Assuming your balancer has not spun at all,
bring the engine to TDC on the balancer
Remove the distributor cap.
If the rotor is pointing at the #1 terminal on the cap, you are at TDC of the compression stroke. If its pointing 180* off, you are at TDC on the exhaust stroke.
You want to be on the compression stroke.
Remove the distributor from the block. Becareful when doing this so the oil pump driveshaft dosent get stuck in the bottom of the distributor.
Adjust the distributor position so that you have more adjustability and stab it back in the block.
Rotate the distributor so that the rotor is pointing at the #1 terminal on the cap and then advance it just a little. Tighten it down, secure the cap, and place plugs back on in correct firing order.
Start car. and set timing.
