Where do the dots go for TDC

So I'm putting my 350 back together with some refreshed heads. I have the timing cover off as I painted and cleaned up while it was out.

I obviously need to find TDC before I put my distributor back in...there is a lot of info on here about the magic dots, but nothing (that I saw) that said definative, this is what you want/have to do. Just talk about it's on compression or exhaust.

So, dot on crank and cam gear both point at 12, means TDC for #1. Is that when I want to stab the distributor back in, or do I need the crank dot at 12 and the cam dot at 6? I think I had them pointed at each other last time I did this, but that was a few beers ago

Thanks for any help ya'll have...
