The precise way to tell is with a dial gauge on a magnetic base.. :-)
The easiest way to tell TDC on the bottom end is to line your crank pulley up with the "0" degree timing mark.
At TDC, the #1 piston is all the way up.
It all needs to work together though, so set the bottom end to TDC, make sure your cam is set with the dowl to 11-12 o'clock, and the distributor firing the #1 cylinder.
