I am pretty sure, if I thought long enough this would come to me pretty simple. i have a piston stop and have degreed cams etc... but am wondering if anyone will do the brainpower for me? I have a adjustable timing pointer, and an ATI balancer. thanks!

Same way you do a degree wheel,,
Turn engine against the stop, reverse the engine & hit the stop again.
Split the difference. Half way between these two points is TDC.
Remove the stop, put the engine at this point & adjust the pointer to read zero.
