It goes something like this:
Your cylinders are number front to back, 1 to 6. The distributor turns clockwise. In the usual layout, #1 on the cap sits pointing straight out sideways from the passengers side of the cap. The firing order is 1 5 3 6 2 4.
So, rotate the crank until the timing mark, I presume on the flywheel, is lined up with the pointer. At this point #6 intake should be starting to open and #1s valves are closed. If #1 intake is opening, you need to rotate the motor another revolution. Then insert the distributor, with the rotor pointing to the #1 position. The bottom of the distributor shaft looks like a large slot screwdriver. That fits into a slot in the oil pump. Afterwards, put the number 1 wire on from cap to plug and then go around the circle and install the rest.
