you need to be on Top Dead Center compression not exhuast. Do you know the difference? It's a four stroke engine and it take two revolution to complete a full power stroke.If not you need to take the valve cover off. It's the only way you have to tell you on top dead compression. You have to do it by the "valve rocking" and figuring out your "companion cylinders". If not you have tiem the distributor 180 degrees off.

1 on the cap can be anywhere you want to set it. I general put it where the books say only because the wires line up easier. But i don't always have a book.

Do you understand you have to static time it? Setting the on TDCC advance so many degree and then make the distributor spark 1 plug while turn the distributor by hand.

Very vital technique to use to make sure that it start and doesn't backfire when you start it.

I'm sure you can you can buy those parts online easily.
