The distributor can be inserted into the block in darn near any position. The caveat is: the #1 plug should be inserted where the rotor is pointing when the engine is on the timing mark at TDC on the compression stroke.
The best location is where the vacuum can has room to move to be able to adjust timing without the can hitting the firewall. The best location is probably shown in the manual. It's figured out for you already.
