318 LA Rotor position and TDC questions

Hi KrazyKuda, I just re-read your reply, You are saying that the #1 plug wire should be located where the rotor points and not based on the slot position.

correct. make sure #1 cyl is at TDC on the compression stroke. timing mark should point to 0. find where the rotor is pointing and that is where the #1 plug wire goes.
