Erm ...
 
Flat surface.  Plugs out.  Distributor cap off.  Brakes off.  Top gear.
 
Push the car until the distributor mark _roughly_ lines up.

Place a "spider" or a sliding T-bar with socket on a wheel-nut - front left 
wheel.  Grasp an Aaron "Bend-A-Lite Pro" between your teeth and insert the 
bright end into the flywheel housing aperture.  Using the left front 
wheel, and feet on the T-bar or spider, move the car _very_ gently fore and 
aft, looking for the "O" to appear in the approved position.

For critical work, you can kick wedges under the wheel.
