The rotor should point to #1 when the #1 cylinder is approximately at 
TDC - piston top of cyl; both valves closed.  I know you know this, but 
it's so easy to forget basics when you're deep into something like this.

And it may be off by 180 degrees, of course.  if it's within +/- 30 or 
so degrees of TDC, you'll at least get some sort of explosions.
