M38A1 cam gear -no timing marks!

Help! In my haste to disassemble the engine on my '67 CDN2 M38A1 I didn't check to see if both gears had marks on them. Crank does but the fiber cam gear does not. Is there a way to determine the proper alignment by counting teeth from the centerline of the keyway, or some other little trick? I don't want to replace the gear as it is in perfect condition, and really don't want to have to mess with trying to determine TDC, and then trying to line up the cam from there. Thank you to anyone that may have any insight. Maybe even a real good picture showing the gear, timing mark, and keyway.
