I actually thought we had been through all this.
You are VERY close to success.
Both Toyvo and Baldy have set you on the correct path.
When your thumb is pushed off the plug hole by the rush of air, obviously the piston is coming up. BEFORE it is completely up, do as you have done before and watch for the BB or triangle, and slowly pull the engine over with the fan until the pointer and mark are lined up.
Pop the cap off the distributor and note the location of the end of the rotor. The #1 wire will go into the tower on the cap that will be over that rotor when when you put the cap back on. It doesn't have to be perfect...that is why you turn the distributor.
Then insert the other wires in proper firing order following the rotation of the distributor...clockwise!
If you play with the distributor, I think you can leave the octane selector tight on the block, and adjust the distributor by loosening the screw clamp around the housing.
Get ready to take a drive...
