put your timing marks on 10 BTDC #1 compression then lift/turn the shaft so it's as close to that bolt as it'll get (pick which ever side of it that will get you the closest just like you did). this will allow you to route the wires slightly neater & less congested coming out of the dist cap & will maintain the OE routing location though as said you can start the #1 wire at any point but keeping things standardized will help you in the long run. EDIT on the dist itself the rotor blade is not exactly parallel w the notch on the end of the dist shaft. I'd align it so it places the ROTOR forward and slightly toward the PASS side to maintain the aforementioned factory plug wire alignment.

if we are talking about the MP dist, the rotor position will be in fact around 90º off with the oil pump shaft on what books say

I line it up down the center of crank shaft or toward the bolt either one thats the closest.. did you replace the shaft bushing in the block?
