Jimmy, number one can be anywhere you want it. I set the dist. with the engine at TDC. There is not a wrong place for number. Some caps have a mark for number one as a reference point. The way you have it should work just fine. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim & Chris To: Chevelle Forum Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 6:58 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] ignition
I am having a difference of opinion. I had the distributor out and replaced the cap. I had marked the distrbutor before I took it out so it is back to its original position. I cranked the motor to 8 degrees BTDC on the #1 cylinder, pointed the rotor towards the #1 cylinder I then put the I put the respective plug wires clock wise around the cap in there respective firing order 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2. in the chilton book it shows the #1 plug lead on the distributor being on the passenger side verses being on the driver side with the rotor pointing towards the # 1 cylinder the way I have it set up , but would like to hear what you guys think befoe I fire it up.
