Get the #1 cyl tdc on compression stroke, set your rotor in pointed at #1 piston and start there and go counter clock wise

It doesnt matter where you point it as long as you start your number 1 plug wire where the rotor is pointing.

If you point your rotor at #1 cyl, when you put your cap on, the plug wire your rotor is pointing at is number 1 then go counter clock wise. I hope this makes it clearer :)
