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.

Yes, use your finger in the #1 spark plug hole to find the compression stroke of #1, then get it to TDC and see where the rotor points... Make that your #1 terminal on the distributor cap and then follow the firing order around the cap in the direction of rotation...
