If you did not pull the oil pump/distributor drive gear or change it's relationship to the cam the distributor should go in only two ways, one of which is correct. The rotor will either be pointing at #1 OR #6. So if your drive gear moved you can re-orient it with a screwdriver until your rotor points to #1 or #6 with your timing marks at TDC. This will save you from rewiring the cap.
