72 360 first start question

"70aarcuda" - I get that moiving the oil gear doesn't change timing it just relocates the rotor, but if I'm at TDC and I set the oil gear pinting at #1 and the rotor follows suit, i should be in the ballpark no?? My #1 on the cap is also pointing at the #1 cylinder. Like i said I've moved the dist left right ( a tooth) to no avail as well as sweeping the timing left/right with no results.??
