So I removed the wires from the cap and removed the distributor again. This time I had someone hold their finger over the #1 to feel for air while I turned the damper to 0 on the timing mark. The piston was at TDC and it was compression for sure. So I looked down at the oil pump driveshaft it was perfectly parallel with the cam and crank. So I proceeded to install the distributor. I aligned the rotor with the #1 on the cap and the slot was perfectly parallel to the slot in the driveshaft so it went it. I then connected the #1 wire to the terminal and proceeded to install the rest of the wires counterclockwise through the firing order. So that's where I stopped.

You got it perfect so far. (1) Now facing the eng turn the crank CCW(backwards) a bit until the marks are at ~ 10 or 15 BTDC then go back CW very carefully & hit 7.5 BTDC. (2) turn the dist housing (CW) until(with the rotor at #1 terminal) the closest(to the magnet) reluctor tooth is even with the magnet slot then a hair past the magnet. Snug the dist down just the right amt so you can still turn it w some effort so you can still turn it when you set your timing w the light & on the rotor phasing it(the rotor) will be be more CCW in relation to the #1 cap terminal than it is now.
