distributor cap question

[cudadude013]

so I found a diagram to hook the cables up to my distributor cap but how do you tell which plug on the cap is number 1   ?

Bring #1 cylinder up to TDC on the compression stroke. The terminal the rotor is pointing at is #1.

There should be a 1 marked on the cap.  Then use this site for all the other info.  As  mentioned before, pull the number one plug, crank it over until air comes out as piston is coming up, get near the top and then match up your timing mark and that's the start.  If the distributor has been removed you need to put it in the gear slot that aligns the rotor to the #1 postion on the cap.  Mine had a 1 where that spot is, but you could search the internet as I did to find a picture of where that is.  If you just removed the wires and are replacing them, then it's easier.  Looking at the cap from the front it's at about 7 O clock position.  Good Luck.
