The ONLY way to be sure is to move the engine so one of the cylinders
is at TDC of the compression stroke (both valves closed). Then the
rotor should point to the plug wire for that cylinder, just as the
points are opening. That should get you close enough for the engine to
run.

 From there, it's just firing order (1-4-3-2, going clockwise on the
distributor). Cylinder 1 is passenger side, front, 2 is behind 1. 3 is
driver side front, 4 is behind 3.
