The firing order you have is right, the rotation is counter clockwise. The rotor can be anywhere as long as you follow the firing order.

And a Pontiac firing order. And a Buick firing order.

This is a pretty common firing order for a V8. It also alternately uses cylinders fed from opposite sides of the carb, a useful feature with a dual plane intake. One side of the carb feeds 1, 4, 6, and 7. The other side feeds 2, 3, 5, and 8. Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

As noted, the Olds distributor rotation is CCW.
