Default Timing

I just put my distributer back in, and when I have my harmonic balancer lined up with my timing chain cover my distributer is pointing at the spot for the wire to cylinder 8, not 1, I did take my fan off with the distributer out, and may have turned the engine slightly at that time, how do I get this lined up again?

Lift the distributor up and turn it counterclockwise one or two teeth until it lines up with #1 cylinder. You can either use a long screwdriverto turn the oilpump shaft or turn the motor over slowly until the distributor falls in place.

Thanks, I thought it would be something like that, I just didn't want to screw it up anymore before asking.
