Trying to Find Top Dead Center

Hi there...as I mentioned I'm really new at working with cars. We are tring to find top dead center. Is it possible for the rotor pointer to not be pointing to number 1 plug when at top dead center according to where the service manual says it should be? The rotor hasn't been changed to our knowledge since it was started 20 years ago so should be right. It doesn't make sense. Also battery is good but car is losing power when off. We aren't sure what's going on.
