Default Distributor issue

I'm planning on buying a Monte Carlo, but some one took the distributor out and there are no marks, how hard will it be to re time the engine, it's a 305 in it, and I plan to swap in a 350 later on down the road, but I want to get this one running

Well, as long as nothing else was touched, you have to find top dead center first and go from there.

Do you have a timing light?
