How would a person drop in a dist. to be like what the manuals and internet says?

Easy. Did someone rebuild the motor? Or put a cam or timing chain in? Lining the marks up on the timing gears is TDC compression for#6 cylinder and not #1 as most people would assume. They install the distributor and find it will not start. They struggle to find TDC #1 and drop the distributor in any where the oil pump shaft will align. The later happens with intake manifold replacement also.
edit to add: if you have Corvette style wires that go under the manifolds distributor position makes or breaks the wires fitting correctly especially with the corvette wire covers.
