I believe the B is similar to the C. Take the clutch bell housing cover off (Circular cover about 2 or 3 inches in diamater) and rotate the crank until you see a mark on the bottom of the fly wheel marked DC 1-4. It is very difficult to see sometimes but it is there. To get you close I would do like other suggested and put your thumb over the number 1 cyl. till you feel the compression stroke. Then continue rotating slowly while someone looks through the hole to line that mark up with (as strange as this may sound) an indentation in the clutch cover that is on the front of the clutch housing. (It's a cover held on by 2 bolts between the clutch housing and the oil pan) There is a crease in the middle of it you need to line it up with. From there (if you need to) remove the distributor an rotate the gearing till the cap is pointing right at the #1 lead in the distributor cap. Put back together being carful you don't move the gears while reassembling and you should be timed and ready to go. Good luck
