As you are looking at the top of the distributor, is the first contact to the right of the vacume advance the spot for the #1 cylinder wire? I did not map it out when I took engine apart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The engine was running when I got it out of a donor car. The distributor was never taken out. I just could not remember which plug wire went where. I found a picture in one of the other threads and found I was 1 spot off from where each wire went. I changed them all to where they should go.

This thread may or may not confuse the issue:
http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=209425

scroll to the last post to see a pic of how it SHOULD be.

bottom line: if you find TDC for cyl 1 on the power stroke (via any method you like), whatever plug tower the rotor is pointing at is for the #1 wire.

If your dizzy gearing is installed as the factory intended, at TDC for #1, the rotor will be pointing at the scribe on the dizzy body (cap must be removed to see the scribe).

good luck!
