Another way that has worked well for me is to wet a 1/4 chunk of paper towel and stick it in the # 1 cylinder hole ( plug pulled). Bump the engine until you hear the paper towel blow out - sort of a "pshhhhhht" sound. If you have your harmonic balancer installed, turn over by hand until line on balancer aligns with tab. Then your at / very close to TDC.
