[Roadsters] Top dead center for #1 piston

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

You might try putting it in gear, e-brake off, and push the car forward or back until the TDC mark on the crank pulley is lined up with the timing mark on the front cover.  TDC mark is the deeper/larger of the marks.  Still have to be sure you are at TDC by checking that cam lobes are pointing upward.
