Re: Eliminate draft tube options
Whenever I needed to find tdc #1 I’d use my compression tester, hang it up high enough to see from the cab and bump it over with the key until it showed compression. Then moved the crank by hand to line up the marks or the bb in your case.

Re: Eliminate draft tube options
if you take out all the plugs it turns over easier, if you leave #1 plug in you will know when it is on compression stroke

Re: Eliminate draft tube options
So, I inserted three silicon stoppers in cylinders 6, 2, and 4 (leading up to #1 being at TDC on the compression stroke). I used a remote starter to bump the starter and one by one those silicon stoppers popped and shot across the shop........ Top Tip, make sure you aren't standing anywhere near the spark plug holes when the stoppers POP.
