With the cap removed, mark the distributor body to the intake manifold. Maybe a sharpie or paint marker. Then mark where the rotor is pointing, and mark something inline with it. As you remove the distributor, make note of how much the rotor moves, in reference to the distributor body. When reinstalling you will have the rotor positioned such that as it engages with the cam gear once again, it will rotate to where it belongs. Then you can align the distributor body with your mark on the intake. For me everything is close now, I would most likely re-check with a timing light. Personally, when I leave something sit a long time, I’d possibly turn the engine over by hand, then remove the coil wire and turn the engine with the starter motor, then start it, versus removing the distributor.
