Which direction should the number 1 on distributor be facing a 2.8 Chevy engine?

On a 2.8L Chevy engine (which uses a HEI distributor), the number 1 rotor terminal on the distributor cap should be pointing towards the number 1 spark plug wire. The number 1 spark plug is typically on the front of the engine, passenger side (right side in the US).
