Why is distributor pointing away from #1 on TDC?

I can’t bump the engine because I also pulled off the exhaust, starter, and upgraded the torsion bars and suspension. In order to do this I pulled everything underneath out to make it easier to remove exhaust suspension etc. Could it be that when I turned the engine off the rotor just happened to stop at that potion which also was TDC for position # 6? Now that I’m putting everything back together it doesn’t add up because I turned the dampener around countless times to adjust pre load on roller rockers. If I rotate the engine 1 revolution it will be at TDC on cylinder #1 but the rotor will be facing 180 deg out. What about pull distributor and drop it back in as close as possible to plug wire #1 when at TDC for # 1 cylinder? As long as it is close I can fine tune it when timing the car. I also replaced the timing gears and chain and put them back exactly lined up dot to dot as before. So I think I’m ok with that.
