First I would highly recommend getting a Bentley manual.  There should  be a 
prick punch mark at the edge of one of the holes on the wheel that  
corresponds to one of the holes on the cam.  As well there should be a  scribe mark on 
both the cam wheel (large) and crank wheel (small) that point to  each other at 
#1 TDC. If you have neither then it is possible that the wheels  have been 
replaced which also raises the possibility that the cam has been  changed.  
IIWY I would make an attempt to find out what you have for a cam and  if it 
is not a stock cam then the stock timing will not necessarily apply.
INHO, this you need to know for sure as correcting it at a  later time will 
be a real pain.
