There's a ton on the internet.  But many of these old engines have been worked on and made to run with the distributor off a tooth or two.  The best thing to do is to set the timing mark on the damper pulley to zero, on the compression stroke of cylinder #1, then set plug wire #1 in the cap to wherever the rotor under the distributor cap is pointed.  Then plug in the rest of the wires in a counterclockwise direction,in the order I showed.

People have wasted hours and days of time setting their wires the way the factory did, only to find that their distributor wasn't the way it was when it left the factory.

If you want specific help post some pictures after you set the timing mark to zero.
