Okay, great start.
Now, look at the distributor cap. Find the spark plug wire that goes to cylinder #1.
Do you see the big lump of plastic on the cap that the #1 plug wire attaches to? You must install the distributor so that, when the distributor fully installed, the pointy end of the rotor lines up directly with that big lump of plastic.
This means that when cylinder #1 is at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor is making contact with the #1 spark plug wire.
When installed properly, the engine should run okay, but you will need to use a timing light to set the distributor timing properly.
