Nissan H20-II engine?
Set cylinder #1 (closest to fan) at TDC of the compression stroke.
Then, you will have to fiddle with the oil pump drive slot to align it just right so that when you drop the distributor into its hole, the distributor rotor points to the #1 cylinder spark plug tower on the distributor cap.
That will get it running but you still need to use a timing light to fine tune the ignition timing.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
