Check TDC on #1 either by checking for pressure out of the spark plug hole as the timing mark approaches 0, or by watching the rockers as it approaches 0 (neither should be moving for about half a crankshaft rotation). Either way, have the power to the distributor disconnected when you do this. Then, check the rotor again to make sure it's pointing at #1, if not, remove distributor and turn it to #1.
