I removed the distributor and accidentally turned the motor over with it out will I need to have the #1 cylinder in the top position when I install the distributor again? This is the helmet style distributor.
 
No, look at the drive tang on the back of the distributor it is slightly off center. The slot in the cam is also offset . just make sure you have them mated correctly or you will be off by 180 degrees and might also break the dist. housing when bolting it on.
