Correct me if Im wrong, I was always taught to bring number 1 piston to TDC on compression stroke and drop the distributor in with the rotor pointing towards Number 1 cylinder.

That's right, but do one more thing. Hook up a timing light, with the key on hold the trigger of the light and slowly rotate the distributor until the light flashes, lock the distributor right there. Ususally will fire right up after that provided you have not flooded it or anyhing else.
