If your number 1 cylinder is at top-dead-center and both valves are closed on cylinder 1 and your distributor is pointing at the number 1 cylinder spark plug, then you're in the right ballpark. At this point, you should see some type of marks on your pulleys that align with marks on your new timing belt.
