How do you use brick to cap a block wall?


I have a 8 inch wide block wall that I would like to cap with standard brick. I am concerned about aligning the brick properly so that it doesn't hang over more on one side than the other.

A brick is the same size as the block 7-5/8 if you lay the brick as a sailer (on edge to hide holes) so it should line up perfectly
