Have you tried starting from step one?

Pull the distributor and make sure cylinder 1 is at the top on a compression stroke and drop the distributor back in with it pointing at cylinder one.

Don't worry about what cylinder the rotor is pointing at on the block. Just make sure its pointing where the number one wire is on the cap. You can put the distributor drive
gear in any way you want, just make sure the rotor is wherever you have the number one wire on the cap
