Where should the rotor be pointing if at top dead center on 2000 dodge ram 1500 5.2 liter?

On a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L engine at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the #1 cylinder's compression stroke, the rotor in the distributor should be pointing towards the #1 cylinder's spark plug wire terminal. It's crucial to confirm this is the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke, as the rotor will be in a different position for each. A compression test is the only way to be certain of this.
