finding TDC without heads or cam

i have a 350 short block that im trying to assemble. im about to install the cam shaft and heads, but how do i know if its at top dead center? i know that the no 1 and no 6 pistons will be at TDC, but is the compression stroke or the top of the exhaust stroke? what position should the sproket dots be lined up at? the 12 or 6 clock positions?
