# 1 piston is on the driver's side front plug. Turn the engine over until that piston is at top dead center, (TDC) on the compression stroke. Now look inside the distributor. The rotor will be pointing at #1. At about 11 o' clock on the distibutor. www.boxwrench.com NEW ANSWER: The first answer is right, and if the Distributor is in correctly when you
look stright down on the cap #1 will be at 5oclock on the cap.

Where is distributor number one located on a Chevy 350?
Remove # 1 Spark Plug Rotate Engine Until #1 Is At Top Dead Center. Both Exh & Intake Valves Closed. Remove Cap, Check Rotor Button. It Will Be Pointing Where # One Goes. If You Are Not This Far Into A Problem. The Number One Cylinder Is The First One On Your Right Facing The Engine. Follow The Wire This Is Where It Is In The Cap.
Which post is number one on the distributer of a Ford 5.0L that is made in 1994 or earlier?
There should be a # 1 mark on the distributor cap The distributor cap is installed with the # 1 position facing the engine , slightly towards drivers side The distributor rotor rotates COUNTER CLOCKWISE and the spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 7 - 8 )
Where is the number one located on a 1985 distributor cap?
first of all you need to know what kind of engine you are working on
How to install distributor on 1999 K1500 you need step by step help?
On the distributor shaft, there is a painted mark, aline this with the two holes in the distributor shaft, located just below the gear. Mark the outside of the distributor where the rotor is pointed. On the inside of the distributor, you will find two cast marks, one stamped with an 8 and the other with a 6. For V-8's rotate the rotor until it is aligned with the 8. Now mark this location on the outside of the distributor. They should be about 45 degrees apart. The first mark is the direction the rotor should be pointing when you begin to install the distributor. When the distributor is fully seated, the rotor should be pointed to the 8 and the second mark. Snug the distributor into place and place the distributor cap on and tighten the screws for the cap. The plug wire post should be perpendicular to the center line of the engine.
What position does the rotor go under the distributor cap?
On number one terminal, put engine at tdc on 1. If engine/rotor hasn't moved, leave rotor alone.
Why is there no spark coming out of distributor on number 8 cylinder on a 1987 Chevy truck already replaced wires plugs cap rotor button?
If you have spark at all but one plug, the problem is with that plug, wire, cap or rotor.
What position is the rotor after timing the cams with the crank shaft.?
Standard is that it is pointing at the number one position on the distributor cap.
Number one location on 1985 4.3L Chevy truck distribitor cap?
You need to find TDC then remove cap and see where rotor button is pointing.
Where does the number one plug wire go on the distributor cap of a 1981 Chevy 350?
If you will remove the #1 plug, (driver's side front of engine), then turn that cylinder to top dead center, (TDC), on the compression stroke, you can then remove the distributor cap and look at the rotor. The rotor will now be pointing to the #1 plug position. GET THE NUMBER ONE CYLINDER TOP DEAD AND THE ROTOR IN THE DISTRIBUTOR SHOULD BE PIONTING AT IT
Where is the rotor cap located on a 1996 astro van?
It's the distributor rotor that you are looking for & it's under the distributor cap. Remove the distributor cap and there you will find the rotor.

i think it's right in front and center
Is it important to face the rotor toward the number one cylinder?
Not if all you are doing is replacing the rotor and/or distributor cap. If you are trying to find the correct way to wire the spark plugs then yes it is very important.
How do you fix crossed plug wires from distributer cap to the spark plugs?
for this task you will need either a compression tester or a "bullet".(go for the tester)also you'll need your firing order. *bring the number one piston to top dead center on a compression stroke.(use the tester for this) *remove the distributor cap and look at which way the rotor is pointing because that will be your number one spot.(also note the rotors rotation pattern either clockwise or counter clockwise) *put the distributor cap back on remembering which way the rotor was pointing.that particular point on the cap will be where you place the number one sparkplug wire. *connect that number one wire to the number one cilynder *now simply follow the pattern and re-attached the wires following the firing order and rotation of the rotor. *(after attaching the number one wire attached the next corresepondend wire next to the number one spot going in the direction that the rotor is turning.) is easier to do than to explain.you'll see.
Where is 1 plug wire go on cap?
I just went through this on my truck and this is what I was told to do. Chevy does not mark the cap. 1) remove distributor cap, 2) locate number one cylinder and remove spark plug, 3) place finger or compression guage, or whistler etc, over spark plug opening 4) rotate engine until air is blowing out of the plug opening 5) rotor should be pointing to where the number one spot should be on the cap 6) mark the cap where the rotor is pointing this should be number one. Make notes somewhere so this does not happen again.
Does a 1997 Chevy Vortec motor have a distributor cap points and rotor?
Cap and rotor, yes. Points, no.
Where might there be oil inside the cap and rotor?
I have never heard of this - I don't think that there should ever be oil inside the cap and rotor of any car. If you have oil in the cap or rotor you probably have yourself a messed up situation requiring it necessary to replace both the cap and the rotor.
