Distributor installation

a couple of folks told me that the #1 cylindar cap tower should be at 6 o'clock looking at the firewall. But to me that is not possible since the oil drive slot is pointing at the 1 cylinder bolt when at TDC. The rotor when at TDC actually is something like at 10 o'clock, and aren't I right that rotor would be at the relocutor (contact )when firing at TDC?
