I am installing a new timing chain/set 1955 292 Thunderbird.   I have the chain set up as in the picture below (dots on the gears are 12 links away, and keyways lined up correctly) .   I "assumed" the rotor would be pointing to cylinder 1.  I checked the distributor and it's pointing to 6, which is 180 degrees away from 1.  I did not remove the distributor while working on the timing chain.    I have removed it in the past and always re-installed it as it came out.
If the distributor is 180 out would the car run?
