The Story:
I parked it about 4 months ago due to a gasket leaking antifreeze. Dad and a friend decided to help me out so I didn't have to take it in. We pull both heads, dipped them, and clean them. Replace the lifters that seem worn, replace all other gaskets for valve covers ect...Also replaced some of the rocker arms. but in the process Dad gets pneumonia and is down for about a month. It remained covered for this time under the car port, but was very very cold sub zero temps. Now that everything has been put back together we had a hell of a time getting it to start in the first place, once we seemed to get it started it was rough but it ran. Took the distributer out to try and get it right on, and hasn't started since.
I have read in the book and from many online places that TDC and #1 but I saw on another forum that it should be on #8... Can someone plz help me out. We hooked it up to a computer and the code was cam shaft positioning error or something of the sort, so I got a new sensor.... Not sure if this is the case.

As 777stickman said.
And remember there is 2 TDC one compression and one exhaust.
Make sure it is on TDC compression.
You can remove no 1 spark plug and hold finger over hole to feel for compression stroke.
