Default Rotor position at TDC

I swapped out the distributor on my '31 Tudor 12v engine.

Next I was gonna set the timing using the Nu-Rex tool. I am visibly at TDC on #1 piston and get a slight motion on the timing pin against the timing gear but it does not readily go into the timing gear hole. I assume the timing pin is just too tight a fit.

Anyway, I was expecting to see the rotor at the #1 cylinder pin in the distributor cap. Instead the rotor is 180 off from where I expected it to be.

Is this rotor position normal or am I missing something?
