Default 1994 Mustang GT cranks but wont start...

1994 Mustang GT 5.0 5speed. Had to replace head gaskets and exhaust manifold gaskets. When I removed distributor i didnt mark it like I should have. Now I dont think Im getting spark. Sprayed starter fluid in intake and still wouldnt fire. i know you can do the thumb on top of plug #1 and turn engine to feel for TDC. But can i just rotate the distributor around and maybe find it. It has a New Optima battery, Powermaster 3g alternator and starter. Thanks guys

I don't know how much you rotated the distributor, but the #1 plug should be at the back, slightly to the right (driver's side) on the distributor.

Like so:

Mine's more toward the center than that I think.
