KEEP IN MIND THE "NORM" OR FACTORY/ BOOK PICTURE IS NOT ALWAYS HOW IT CAN BE SET UP......DEPENDING ON WHO INSTALLED THE DISTRIBUTOR, #1 COULD BE IN ANY POSITION!.......AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WRONG!!!.....WHEN YOU DO FIND TDC, AND WHERE #1 IS POINTING, LIKE fixitmr SAID, THAT'S WHERE THE START OF THE FIRING ORDER SEQUENCE WILL BEGIN
THE BEGINNING OF THIS THIS WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU....IT IS GOOD INFO REGARDLESS...THE REST MAY HELP YOU WITH "TDC"
