In a word? Yes. That is the #6 TDC point, dot to dot and 3 o'clock. Its been covered quite a few times.

it is still installed corectly your just at #6 TDC rotate it and youll be at #1, the only problem youll have if you thought that was #1 would be valve adjustment, the opti will only go together one way.

this also confused me for a very long time because I was so used to the regular SBC, I put my whole motor together thinking that was #1 TDC and had problem adujusting the rockers because I was so confused.
