firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

Lots over overthinking going on.

1.......It matters not where the distributor is, if the rotor is pointing at the no6 cylinder plug wire when no1 should be firing that IS THE definition of "180 out"

2......The only reason on these cars "why" there's a "specific way" of installing the distributor is so

A.....The assembly line folks can wrench, repeat

B.....The plug wires "lay nice"

C....The mechanics that come after "see what they expect to see."

I swear Del , you are like the only one that gets it. it is truly amazing how so many people let their cars sit and rot in a garage because they are so dead set on the rotor pointing to the #1 cylinder and cannot figure it out. people sit around and demand that the rotor MUST be pointing to #1 and they end up throwing wrenches and slam the garage door shut. the fricking rotor can be pointing to New Zealand as long as it is firing the #1 cylinder on the cap at TDC
