[Chevelle-list] ignition

[Dale]

As others have noted, the #1 plug wire can physically be anywhere on the cap
as long as (1) the rotor is set to match and (2) the correct firing order is
retained.  If memory serves though, the #1 plug wire on the cap is the tower
to the left of the point adjustment window as shown in the Chilton's book.

I am having a difference of opinion. I had the distributor out and replaced
the cap. I had marked the distrbutor before I took it out so it is back to
its original position. I cranked the motor to 8 degrees BTDC on the #1
cylinder, pointed the rotor towards the #1 cylinder I then put the I put the
respective plug wires clock wise around the cap in there respective firing
order 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2. in the chilton book it shows the #1 plug lead on the
distributor being on the passenger side verses being on the driver side with
the rotor pointing towards the # 1 cylinder the way I have it set up , but
would like to hear what you guys think befoe I fire it up. Jimmy C
