Once you do the "thumb over the #1 plug hole" to get the engine coming up on #1 compression, being it's a 4 cylinder, you will be able to feel when the engine is at TDC.
When turning the engine by the front pulley, you will feel an "easy spot" when 2 cylinders are at TDC and 2 are at BDC. Just rock the pulley back and forth a few times, get the feel for it, and that will put you close enough to time the mag.
Once running then the timing can be set. If there are no timing marks you'll have to time it by ear. As long as it doesn't kick back when starting, doesn't clatter under heavy load, performs as usual, it will be close enough. Not extremely critical on a low compression engine.
