0 is the line closest to the front of the car, then it goes 2, 4, 6, 8 10, 12. Works best if you have someone watching the window while you turn the crank. Have them warn you when the line first appears at the 12 mark, it will jump to 0 real quick. You can take out the spark plugs to make it easier to turn and less jumpy. Turn the crank with a wrench and 13mm or 15mm socket (depending on what year the motor is), clockwise while facing the pulley.

You'll just have to set it a little lower than normal. That's a fairly common problem and can be fixed though, here's what it is and how to fix it. http://www.fwdmopar.com/sites/dennis/dizzy.html

Don't forget to unplug the coolant temp sensor. I tried that once, and it was bouncing all over the place with it plugged in. I figured out what I was doing wrong, and all was well.
