Why is distributor pointing away from #1 on TDC?

It is very hard to acheive w/ raised port heads and a chevy type distributor , "used by fast f/inj systems'' , lot of clearanceing on a victor knock off head !!
Well, that doesn't sound "stock" but if you go by the "you can put #1 anywhere" how hard is it to re-orient the rotor on yours?
