you can rotate it anywhere you like...then simply find TDC on #1 cylinder...look at where the rotor button is pointing and start #1 plug wire right there
also you can pull the distributor out and rotate it to where the connectors will be in the correct position...
it doesn't matter where the wires start as long as they are in time with the cylinders and have the correct firing order....
the only issue with moving the plug wires..... may be the length of the wires...making sure they reach the correct cylinder
