Your cam will set the valves to which ones need to be open. Set the cam spocket (mark) to TDC . Align the crankshaft to TDC on the #1 piston, then put the belt on. Here is link, this was discussed a week ago. https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=43295

On my 88 2 liter with the "up" on the crank sprocket at 12 o'clock, there is a notch on each side that you align with the top of the head.

On the crank there will be a small dot on the sproket and then there will be a dot near the oil pan on the bottom of the motor. Its kind of hard to spot. You will either need air tools or a real big cheater bar to get the pulley nut loose.

Ok, I don't know if you put the head on allready. But if you have the belt on and haven't taking the crank pulley off. Here is some insight. Even though I haven't taken my belt off in a while, I think this might save you some time.
(((( Saving yourself from pulling the crank pully off..... )))
After you get TDC on the crank with #1 cylinder ...."If" you can get to the belt tensioner from the top. You can take the belt off the cam spocket & then hold the belt up tight on the crank sprocket, don't let is slip down off the sprocket. While your doing that, move the cam sprocket (mark) to 12:00 postition. Put the belt back on.
