1995 Chevy S-10 Distributor replacement

This engine does not have powertrain control module. I had to change the distributor. Put timing in top dead center #1 at compression.
Question, does the rotor line up with the #1 contact
on the distributor cap or the arrow that is on the distributor shaft or where?
This truck has a 4.3 Vortec "W" engine with CPI with ECM 3 pin plug on the control module inside the distributor. I am having trouble getting it to fire plus
if I short the coil wire to ground the spark is light and has an orange color.
