it doesn't matter where the rotor ends up, you just find #1 tdc, and wherever the rotor ends up will be #1. Then just go in order clockwise. If you aren't concerned about timing, get the slot close to where you think it might line up with the tang on the distributor, and turn the crankshaft one way or the other till it falls into place. Then you can find TDC on #1 and go from there. But beware that if you are pushing too hard on the distributor using this method the friction alone could cause the oil pump to rotate right along with the distributor and never get it to line up.
