[T2] wanna trip to Baltimore??

It would be a lot of trouble but,       Place the TDC pulley mark at case 
center on #1, pull the plugs, with the van jacked up with the R/R wheel 
still on the ground, put it in high gear. You can then turn the L/F wheel 
that is off the ground and turn the engine that way. By jacking up the left 
rear, you can look through the wheel opening and see the valve action.  When 
#3 valves over lap, everything else should be aligned, TDC, #1 distributor 
cap, etc.
#3 is the cylinder to the front of the van. If you don't see alignment, stop 
and let up know before you turn the engine any more. Unfortunately the 
distributor is the only thing you can fix at this point. If the cam/crank 
timing is off then a case split is required.

For safety sake I would not get under the van! Jacks are a death sentence, 
never trust a jack!
