When I put the heads back on, all I really need to do is turn the engine over until cylinder 1 is at TDC and then put the distributor where the rotor is pointing at the #1 contact. Right at 12 o'clock IIRC. Sound about right?

Make sure it is TDC on the #1 compression stroke. AKA turn it over until the #1 intake valve starts to close. When the #1 piston is at TDC after the intake valve closes you are good to set your distributor as stated above.
