Dont laugh at me!!! with my rookie tuning :(

so....when it was pointing in the middle it was alright? I remove ans rotated the drive gear to point in towards the cyl #1...pointed out at #3 , so i have to remove it and point it back in the middle ? & i have to be 100% sure that the #1 cyl is up in the compression cycle right? I just dont know the rest , i never removed a distributor and timed an engine afterwards....still wondering if the other muffler will explode on the other side

pointing the gear slot at #1 means nothing if your tang and rotor aren't' pointing in the same direction
