Take the all spark plugs out so you can turn it over the correct direction
easily with a wrench.  You can feel the compression against your finger or
if former Navy, with your cheeks.... ;>)

Show do i get TDC on this engine ? 
So how do i know when she is really on TDC

 The simple answer is to turn the engine over (coil disconnecred) with
your big finger in the #1 spark plug hole. ( you might need help with
this trick!) When the #1 piston comes up on the compression stroke,
you'll feel the pressure. STOP cranking. Then carefully turn the engine
over by hand to get the Pointer on Zero degrees. That should be TDC.

 Getting all the information is most of the solution.
