101 Timing Question

[AutoInsane]

SO.... I am doing a bit of work on my 74 Jeep CJ5 Renegade with an AMC 304 V8. I am installing a new timing chain cover, water pump & alternator. I am also upgrading the distributor with a Pertronics Ignitor II.

Question for y'all....

When I get the timing chain cover off I think the best thing to do will be to set the timing chain to TDC. To do this I am assuming I match up the timing marks and make sure the #1 cylinder is at the top.. ?? Then, when I re-install the distributor how do I make sure that it is installed to correlate with the timing being set to TDC?

Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions are welcomed!!!!

Thanks gents!!
