ohbugger,

After looking closely at the pictures, I noticed a pen mark on the distributor cap which, I assume, marks the notch on the distributor body. I checked my distributors (for a 76, and 77 T) and the notch is, in fact, to the right of the mounting spring (looking from the top). In short, #1 wire should be in the position shown in your second picture. Do a double check--remove the cap and look straight down on the distributor. Note the spring clip and the location of the notch. The information posted by Bruce is also correct (to the left of the clip) if you are looking at the notch from the outside of the distributor. Both locations put the wire in the position shown in picture 2.
