1969 Dodge LA 318 engine timing.

I am changing out a point type distributer with a HEI distributer. The original distributer is still in the truck because I want to get everything in the proper place before I remove the old distributer. My problem is this. #1 cylinder top of cylinder, Timing mark is close enough 8* before TDC. However, the rotor is pointing to the 9:00 position. I believe it should be pointing towards the #1 cylinder but the #1 plug wire is connected to the rotor position at the 9:00 position. Please tell me what you think I should do If anything.
