There are TWO TDCs, not one, so using the above info you have a 50% chance of getting it right.
At the first TDC, Cyl1 will be in compression (which is what you want), at the other TDC, Cyl1 will be in its exst stroke (not what you want).
For a engine with a timing belt you can tell by where the cam wheels are. They should have a mark, or hole to align to an indicator on the head.
For a car with a timing chain, pull the cam cover... Cyl1 is at the correct TDC when the valves for that cyl are closed.
