I'm pretty much in the same spot as you, dink. I'm doing the head gaskets, and got into it pretty deep before I decided to check how I SHOULD be doing it. As a result: I removed the distributor, cam pulleys are off, and didn't pay much attention to timing marks when disassembling.
Anyway, I will be starting from scratch with the timing, and since the OP said he will need to do this too I decided to ask it here. So what do I need to do to get the timing right? I feel like i need to first rotate the crank to the right position (flywheel timing mark?), then put cam towers/pulleys on and rotate to the right position, but I don't know how to deal with the distributor.
Thanks in advance!
