My gawd will you PLEAUZE stop UNDERTHINKING this. Very very easy. Either move the wires one hole, or pull the dist and move the gear as Newbomb detailed.
The main reason for the "specified" correct no1 hole position is so that the plug wires lay nice (OEM) and so the assembly line folks can rinse/ repeat, as well, of course, that the dist advance can "sit" clear.
When I got my first car, a 57 Chev 265, I didn't even know there WAS a "correct." I would drop it in, crank it until the oil pump drive engaged, and then bring the marks up on TDC and put no1 where the rotor pointed. I had a 50-50 chance back then because I didn't know about "sticking your finger in" no1 hole to check for compression
Anyhow, I went into one of the local Shell stations, and the pump jock announced, "THAT THINK CAN'T RUN, IT's ALL OUT OF TIME!!!! Well, I drove it in there so I guess it must run??
