Distributor Position question

[Al Streicher]

 1990 80, non-Q, 2.0L  4 cyl.

Some time ago I had to have the distributor replaced because of a failed 
hall sensor. The engine has been sluggish, leading me to think the engine 
isn't timed to spec. Also, I remember that the number one marking on the 
distributor was at about the two o'clock position. Now it is at eleven 
o'clock. The rotor does match the markings on the dist. body for number 1. 
Does it matter how the distributor is placed, as long as the rotor lines up 
to the housing?  The picture in the Bentley shows the dist. aligned so the 
rotor points to two o'clock.  What is right?

 I finally found the "O" mark on the flywheel. It is in a very small hole 
with a pointer. There is a larger slot below it, but no marking or line to 
match the "O" up to. The cam sprocket has a marking, "O" "T",  that lines up 
with the mark OT on the plastic cover between it and the valve cover. Will 
there be any other markings on the flywheel for the timing?

Thanks,

Al
