Whoa, hold on here.

You want to set your motor to TDC? If so, 15 degrees it definatly NOT TDC.

For TDC, you want to have it at 0 degrees, and confirm that your distributor is positioned over the #1 spark plug wire.

Are you going to be taking the head or timing cover off? What are you trying to do?

You can rotate the pully by putting the tranny in neutral, and using a socket with an extension on the rachet to turn it over clockwise. The crank bolt is 27mm IIRC.
