Distributor changeout Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My junkyard HEI is turning out to be a piece of SH*%. I have decided to go with a Pertronix aftermarket HEI. At least I will know everything is new and working.

My question is, if I mark where the rotor is pointing when I take my current one out, can I drop in the new one with the rotor pointing in the same position as the old one, and be timed properly. I would like to hook up my spark plug wires in the same cap position as they are currently as they are custom trimmed to length. Will this work?
