rotor will point to #1 at TDC.
Turn the engine over until the #1 piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. The rotor will then be pointing to the # 1 plug connection.
you have to have you motor on top dead center.pull your old one out , there is a bolt at the bottom of the dist. take that out,,,,,,tip....first look at rotor button see were it is at on the dist. you may be able to put rotor button in the same place on the new dist. an slide it down an put bolt back on an wires.but if that dont work you have to get the motor on top dead center and get the rotor button on the #1 firing spot on the dist.cap once both are in those places you should be good....

Typically, when setting the timing initially, you would want the rotor to point to the #1 wire on the cap.
In the middle of the driver side of the motor

TDC on the compression stroke for number one cylinder, looking from the front, the rotor should be pointing to the 5:00 o'clock to 5:30 position on the cap.
With the #1 cylinder on top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke, the rotor should point to #1 on the distributor cap.
That depends on the exact model/make of car.
on top dead rotor should be pointing at #1
The only time a motor should go into a locked rotor condition is if the motors connected load jams causing the motor to stop turning. At this point if the motor control circuitry is sized to the motor's full load amperage, the high rise in current will trip the motor off line.
