Rebuilt 318 install problem

Hang on, the wire that goes to #1 cylinder only goes into tower @1 if the rotor tip is under it at TDC compression. If the rotor tip is under some other tower, then you have to make that one your #1 , And stick the rest in following the firing order.
After a rebuild, The distributor Drive is supposed to be installed ina specific orientation, which works with an original Mopar Distributor. But your aftermarket D may not orient the rotor into the correct tower.

I tried to PM you but your inbox is full. Does the intermediate shaft have to be in a specific location? I installed it so that the rotor tip is pointing towards the #1 cylinder and the reluctor is centered on the pick up when I install the cap I have been installing the #1 spark plug wire in that location on the cap (where the rotor tip is pointing).

Is that not a correct procedure?
