any tips on cranking this thing once it is installed

this is what I have done, and a few things that I didnt do

I spun the oil pump with a big flat head, I cut off, and a drill for like 5 min to build the oil pressure

for some reason I skipped the step for finding top dead center, didnt install the balancer until after the heads went on

I need a way to find top dead center to number 1

another problem is the new motorcraft dizzy will not seat all the way it lacks a 1/2 an inch, and I swear I am lining the gear up with the oil pump shaft, I tried about 10 times before I got frustrated and here I am

any help would be greatly appreciated
