Cap and Wires

The #1 wire can be any place on the cap as long as the rest are in the correct order and the rotor is pointing to #1 at TDC on number one.

If you pull the distributor out it can go back in the same or 180 degrees out. If the oil pump drive shaft was pulled it can go back in most any position.

When I have an engine apart I don't worry much about how the distributor was orientated and where #1 is in the manual when I put it back together. Where ever the rotor ends up pointing is were I start putting the wires on.
