Wherever you want it to be.

Take the distributor cap off. Take the number one spark plug out. Put a breaker bar on the bolt in the middle of the crank, put your finger in the spark plug hole, and slowly turn the crank clockwise. When you feel/hear air escaping through the hole watch the timing mark on the balancer. When it gets to TDC, make a note of where the rotor is pointing in the distributor. Put your cap on and run the wires with #1 at the mark you made on the distributor. Set your timing and you're good to go.
