if its a 8v there should be a mark on your dizzy where rotor arm lines up to
also if you look in maintenance section there is a item for tuning digifant and this tells you how to set up correctly hope this helps

ignore the intermediate shaft marks, line up the rotor arm to the mark on the dizzy :)

The reason the intermediate shaft & cam pullies have 2 marks is because they are actually the same part, on 1 side is the mark for the intermediate shaft, the other side has the cam mark :)

with a 16v it matters even less since the only thing driven off the intermediate shaft is the oil pump, the dizzy runs off the cam :)
