Maybe I am missing it but what are you trying to accomplish?

With many of these distributors being rebuilt or purchased as rebuilt back in the day you may not have original internal parts and the clocking is off.
Regardless of new/rebuilt, the orientation of the main shaft will be the same. IOW, the cam plate and the rotor index off of the main shaft.

FWIW, here's a pic of a pre-'70 with the VC pointing to the front under the fuel lines. Does look like #1 is at 6 o'clock.

I always had my #1 two holes to the left of the front cap hold down clip as you’re looking from the front. At top dead center with your timing mark on 0, the slot in top of the oil pump drive gear is supposed to be parallel to the centerline of the crankshaft. My #1 plug wire for my old Hemi and my 440-6 motors was always in the cap terminal closest to the front of the valve cover but I think it was just two holes towards the passenger side of the cap hold down clip?
