The 2:1 ratio between the distributor and the crank is exactly your problem. For each 360^ the crank turns, the dizzy turns 180^. This means that each time the crank timing mark is at TDC the rotor is either pointing at #1, or pointing 180^ away from #1. If you take off the cap when #1 is at TDC and all of the valves for #1 are closed and the rotor is pointing 180^ away from the #1 wire, then you simply move the #1 wire to where the rotor is pointing and put the other wires in the right holes relative to the new #1 position.
