Default timing question

Once i get the cyl head rebuilt, and get my tbelt kit from ECS how do i align the pulleys so that timing will be correct? If i read the bently cd correctly i put cyl 1 at TDC and align the cam pully with some mark on the cam cover? can anyone confirm this?

Default both pulleys have tdc marks...cam is easier to see, crank requires

making mark on the block since the cover comes off. After you install the new tb, just handcrank clockwise to two full revolutions just to make certain everything lines up.
