Who's running an MSD Distributor?

I had a similar problem with an MSD distributor . however mine is in a 440 not a small block . The rotor did not point in the same direction as the factory dist . After the dist was installed I turned the cap intill the #1 plug wire lined up with the tip of the rotor ( while the engine was at top dead center ) . I had a friend try to start the engine while i used a timing light in the engine bay . I turned the dist using the timing light as a guide intill the engine started , then fine tuned it from there .
