When your finger is blown off the hole, you are TDC on the compression stroke where you want to be.
You may have to wind the engine back a little to line the timing marks up

if the distributor doesnt drop right in put it where its pointing to #1 on the cap. See if someone can bump the motor over while you put just a slight bit of downward pressure (not always necessary) on the distributor . The oil pump shaft will "catch up" with teh slot on the distributor and drop in or usualy does.
Then rotate over again to double check your work before putting the cap on
Mines stubborn and the oil pump drive leans off to one side "dropping it in is impossible"
