The distributor you picture is correct for a 22nd and 23rd series Eight. The rotor can be in any position as long as the wires in the cap are correctly positioned and has already been suggested, just walk the wires around.

Put #1 cylinder on top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke (if you put it on TDC on the exhaust stroke, all your wires will be 180 degrees out of sync). Then look at the position of the rotor and place the wire to #1 plug over the rotor. Then continue in the firing order sequence 1-6-2-5-8-3-7-4 in the direction that the rotor rotates; sorry I forget for the moment whether it's CW or CCW.
