I'm not sure.
If you have marked TDC properly on your balancer, then it should be easy to get the engine to start and run without having to pull the distributor out again. Even if it's in wrong, we'll just rotate the wires around to match where they "should be." Let's assume you followed my instructions correctly and have marked TDC accurately.
First, follow these instructions from blykins:
Pull the driver's side valve cover off. Roll the engine over by hand and watch the rocker arms on #1. Roll the engine over until you see the exhaust valve on #1 open then close. At this time the intake valve should be opening as well. Keep rolling the engine over until the intake valve opens, then starts to close. At this time, keep rolling the engine over and be watching the timing pointer and the balancer. When you get to 30° BTDC, stop.
When you do this, where is your rotor pointing?
