Buy a haynes manuel. It will be invaluable to you and save you alot of time so you could already be work-en on your car instead of waiting for a answer on this forum.

Blitz BOV, Walbro 255, HX-35 (8psi), Tokcio blues and lowering springs.

do not buy a haynes.

go and download the FSM.

it has a picture of exactly what the rotor position is supposed to be when installed with the engine at TDC.

Advantage to the haynes, though, is you have it right there. If you have a laptop you can have in the shop with you, use the FSM

FSM is good for knowing what to do and the haynes/chiltons is good for knowing how to do it.
get both
