Motor start up after a rebuild

Just curious if these two things are the same. Saw this on a vid.

# 1.... Get motor to TDC, rotor facing # 1 on cap, then advance distributor about 1/4 to 1/2 assuming this is about 10-12 BTDC...........motor should fire up.

# 2....You would say put the motor 10-12 BTDC on balancer but have the distributor rotor still facing # 1 on the cap.

Just trying to learn as i go along
