The distributors need only be indexed to the correct plug. Moving them will not change the timing since the triggering will be done by the crank sensor telling the computer when to fire. A normal distributor does two jobs. First it triggers the firing via points or some other pickup. Second it distributes the fire to the plugs. I have split these two tasks.

Generally a distributor has an advance mechanism to keep the rotor in proximity to the cap contact to the wire, close as the timing changes.
Evidenced in Carrera and Carrera II distributors.
Here is another way to run a cam driven distributor.
This one was used on a version of the 962.
