Default Dizzy/Timing problem on a B18A

The wiring on my distributor was hacked up so I pulled it and was about to swap it for a new one.

The problem is, I forgot to check what direction the rotor was pointing when I pulled the old one.

So with the engine at TDC, what direction should the rotor be facing?

there is no wrong way to put it on as soon as you mount your dizzy you'll know how it goes on. It can only go on one way.

It's possible to install the dizzy 180 degrees off, so I need to know what cylinder the rotor should be pointing towards when the engine is at TDC.

NEVERMIND, I just realized that the lugs on the dizzy and the grooves in the cam are OFFSET, so it can't be 180 degrees off.
