Engine 304 backfire through the carb

[FFEH]

I have a 1973 CJ5 AMC 304 AMC manual Transmission . The tub is off and I am trying to get the engine to start. I am getting a backfire through the carburetor which suggests timing to me. I have the jeep at TDC and the picture #1 shows the picture I am using to get everything in the right place according to the picture. I noticed today that my rotor is not pointing to the distributor cap where I have the number one plug wire picture#2. My finger is on the #1 wire. This doesn't match the picture in relation to the cap screws. The rotor is pointing to the # 1 one spark plug. So I think I have the spark plug wires wrong. My question is should I put the plug wires as they are shown in the pic or is the cap orientation wrong to begin with? If you look close you can see the distributor cap screws are not in the same orientation as the picture. Thanks for any help.
