It really doesn't matter where it points as long as it's pointing at the post on the distributor that has the number one wire on it. Just remember, that's a 50/50 chance. It could be 180 degrees out of time.
At TDC, the rotor should be pointing toward the position where the number 1 spark plug wire plugs into. If the rotor is pointing in the opposite direction you need to rotate the engine once more since the engine rotates twice, once on the compression stroke (TDC) and once on the exhaust stroke (not TDC).
