4. When pressure builds on number one have the helper continue turning engine over until 8 degrees before TDC
5. Remove the distributor cap and determine which plug wire the rotor is pointing
6. Check firing order, distributor rotates clockwiise
A one person method to find TDC on number one is to attach a hose to a spark plug air pressure valve holder then you can turnover the engine with one hand while having your finger over the hose to feel pressure building in number 1 cylinder

I have a remote starter. So I have removed the spark plug from #1, using remote starter rotate engine and check #1. Done this. Also, take off valve cover and watch valves, as the intake valve closes, checked that also. Both slowed TDC is good.
