1G is easy. Make sure the engine is at TDC, line the notch on the cam gear with the notch behind it. Piece of cake.

the chip he's talking about is probably on the outer edge of the crank pulley

Well....the cams are going to spin how many times for each revolution of each full cycle?
You'll need to turn the engine around one more time.

if you want to make sure your not 180 degree's off.
take number 1 spark plug out, get a long straw or something long, put it in the spark plug hole, turn your crank and watch the straw, you'll find TDC without a doubt. Of course that is just a useful trick with cars that seem to lack appropriate markings. (datsun bluebird comes to mind). Still it's a foolproof trick.
