I know that when the #1 piston is TDC, you put the cam gear with the mark straight up, and also the crank gear, straight up. I understand that part but I'm not 100% confident on the rest yet. It's gonna be fun though. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated guys

Here you go....there are several very good 'how to' videos on youtube on how to do this and they are all well worth watching and this should bring back the confidence in getting the dizzy in the right spot.

...this is just one of them...they are several, many of which deal with the distributor installation on a 'new' engine or one that that has had the original timing disturbed.
All Good
