if your old chain is still on, you should rotate the engine to where the circle/dots line up.

if you've already removed your old chain, simply put the new chain/srockets on without rotating the engine any. because the shafts are keyed, it can really only go one of two ways, and that's where the dots are important.

jasiggy, Please post your question in the Caravan section as I misread your post and moved it to the Ram section in error,
