Marking madness

I have a 78 Ford truck with a 351 M.I put a new Edelbrock intake and a 600 carb on it .I had to pull the distributor to change the intake.On my crank i have 3 holes together and then one hole seperate from the others.When I'm finiding TDC which mark should be used,and the pointer in the distributor points at the #1 plug.I'm just confused on which mark on the crank wheel should I go by to find TDC.

I'm having a hard time finding a carb or distributor on my truck! Hint: you're in the 2009+ F150 forum. Go back to the forum list and scroll down a bit and you'll find a forum dedicated to a small range of years that covers your truck. There will be plenty of experts in there who can help!

Should be a slot/groove cut in the balancer if memory serves me correct. That should be your TDC mark.
