Pull the cap with wires attached and set it back out of the way. Pull the coil wire, and pull the #1 plug. Put your finger over the #1 plug hole and have someone (or use a remote starter button) bump the starter until compression blows your finger off the plug hole. Look down at the harmonic balancer timing tab and by hand rotate the motor to get 0 degrees TDC. Now pull your dizzy and rotate it so the cap screws are at the 9 & 3 oclock positions, and the rotor pointing at the five oclock position. The oil pump slot aligns with the pointer/electrode on the rotor. If the oil pump is not allowing the dizzy to fully seat, use a long screw driver with a mark on the handle to turn the oil pump until it lines up with the number one plug wire location on the cap, (5 oclock) The dizzy should fully drop in with the rotor pointing to #1. The cap screws should also still be close to or in the 3 & 9 oclock positions. Here is the correct orientation of the dizzy's and the #1 plug wire locations, note the difference between HEI and Points...

The HEI cap in your pic is 180 degrees off. The connector should be on the driver's side.
