replacing 79sc distributor help

79sc, bad distributor.

I have a rebuilt distributor ready to drop in. Is this as simple as making note of where current distributor is, sliding out, sliding new one in exactly where rotor was, button up, double check timing.

Im guessing it should probably be put at top dead center, but how do I turn engine over by hand. If i turn alternator nut, the fan just spins not cranking the motor. There is no way to get to crank pulley bolt without taking exhaust off, dropping engine tin, and removing carrier.
