Found this on another site:

You can estimate TDC by removing the #1 plug and cranking the engine in the direction of normal rotation with your finger over the plug hole until you feel the compression building; Use a length of small rod or similar to stop the rotation when the piston has risen to TDC andthen check your timing mark.
