The rotor can point anywhere when you drop in the distributor - but wherever it points on the cap that's where the #1 plug wire needs to be, then follow firing order around the distributor. It's just that most folks point it towards the #1 cylinder as a reference and reminder.
You just have to make sure you are stabbing it in on the COMPRESSION stroke of the #1 cylinder.
