Get the number one piston up on TDC on compression stroke and point the dizzy to where the number one spark plug wire is...simple....no damage done !!


Where are the pics of the damage ?
If the oil pump shaft is in the wrong position the distributor is not going to sit all the way down facing the #1 plug without using something to turn the oil pump shaft.
