*Put the distributor cap on the distributor. Make a mark on the distributor housing that lines up with spark plug terminal post #1 of the distributor cap. You can use a Sharpie. On a coil-in-cap "regular" HEI, #1 will be the 2nd. spark plug wire terminal clockwise from the square part of the plastic coil cover that sticks out. | *Put the distributor cap on the distributor.

*Pull the cap back off, line up the rotor with the mark that was just made on the distributor housing. Now look at the other end of the distributor, pick a groove between two teeth, and mark the housing there. Now, rotate the shaft counterclockwise (from the top) till the bottom of that groove is lined up with your mark on the bottom of the housing. You could make secondary mark on the distributor at the top again in case it gets disturbed in the process of dropping it in. | *Pull the cap back off, line up the rotor with the mark that was just made on the distributor housing.
