You need to turn the motor so the first piston is at top of the cylinder to remove the distributor.
The firing order for a 1970 Ford 302 V8 engine is: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 The distributor rotation is counter clockwise.
counterclockwise
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the REAR
There are two firing orders for the Ford 302. There is the standard 302 firing order of 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. Then there is the Ford 302 HO firing order which is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Make sure you are using the correct order. Set the #1 piston at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Now install the distributor so the rotor is pointed at the #1 plug connection on distributor cap.
Assuming you have set the engine to #1 TDC and marked the position of the distributor and the position of the rotor, remove the distributor hold-down clamp and it's bolt, then pull the distributor up and out.
1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 Distributor rotates counterclockwise.
The # 1 position on the distributor cap is installed facing to the rear , and slightly towards drivers side of engine
