On the crankshaft pulley you should find a notch at near TDC, and a pointer fitted to the timing box just above it.
Turn the engine by hand until the two line up (I use a dab of Typex on both to make them easier to see), and then turn the distributor, without the cap on, to where the points just...

A roll cage is there to protect you when you turn over, and there should be no 'wriggle room' at all once it has been fitted!
