The best way would be either to expose the timing marks on the flywheel or whip the head off to view the pistons - though I must say I'm never keen to remove a head if it's sealing nicely.

Keep in mind flywheels are sometimes found to have been reversed, so always check you are on compression stroke (thumb over spark plug hole).

Failing the above, as long as you are close the car should start, then a certain amount of fine tuning 'by ear' is necessary anyway. If in doubt err on the side of caution - too much ignition advance is a dangerous thing.
