ignition system help

So i got an electronic ignition system (Mallory Ignition 2572101 32-41 Flathead 3 Bolt Dual Point Distributor - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop) to replace the distributor on my 1941 Flathead V8. The problem is i have never installed anything like this. I have tried looking for how-to's online but i haven't found anything to replace this kind of distributor. From what i can gather i need to have piston 1 at top dead center but beyond that I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure how the aftermarket ones work, but the stock one can only go in one way.
