Confused now with timing

So with the crank shaft at TDC and the roll pin vertical, where should the rotor on the distro be pointing? Right now it's pointing 3 O'clock, but that would mean it's poised to fire plug #4, not #1 as I would assume to be what we need.
The original set up in terms of plug wires off the distro was plug wire #1, 9 OC, #2, 12 OC, #4, 3 OC, #3, 6 OC (1,2,4,3)

I thought I had been fairly careful in keeping the realative position correct of the distro as I had removed/installed it several times, BUT I never checked where the crankshaft was positioned.

I have the EI installed now, if anyone has a step by step procedure, well that would just make my day...

It's the Prestolite Distro with Electronic Ignition
