Timing chain alignment - no mark on crank gear

97 4.6 with an isky cam and a scat 4.2 crank. I'm assuming the timing is stock because the shop that built it the first time had no idea that you could stroke a 4.0 and they didnt have the timing card for a custom ground cam. I can get it if that will change the answer to my question though.

My timing set only has a mark on the cam gear not the crank gear. I know the cam bolt, cam gear marking and crank gear marking are all supposed to be in a straight line, so can I set the crank at TDC and make sure the cam bolt, cam gear marking and crank bolt are in a line?

Or can someone show direct me to a picture that shows where the crank gear mark should be in relation to say, the crank gear key slot? Thanks in advance.
