if it's something other than a mopar distributor you best check how the tang aligns with rotor tip. My MSD distributor required an install direction different than the way mopar describes (point toward the #1 intake port/bolt/etc.).
True the distributor doesn't matter where #1 is as long as it's wired correctly. I just like to keep things consistent and simple knowing the #1 terminal is near the front of my distributor.
