Remove No1 sparkplug near the radiator and bring that piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Hold your thumb over the plug while a helper slowly cranks the engine until you feel pressure against your thumb. Once you feel pressure drop a long plastic straw on the top of that piston.

Hal PS: Don't pull the distributor.
