Take the distributor back out of the engine. Take the # 1 plug out and put your finger over the hole while someone bumps the starter button. When the piston comes up and blows your finger off the plug hole stop. Reinstall the distributor with the rotor pointing in the right direction. If it does not go all the down easily just, hold it down and bump the starter slightly once more and it will seat down. Put the cap on and make sure you have it wired correctly. That is all there is to getting it in right position. "Beware" it has to be set on the compression stroke. If not it will be timed 180 degrees off and will pop back. If you are just using a mark on the front pulley it is easy to get it 180 degrees out.
