Hi,

When it is installed, the number one cylinder needs to be at top dead center (TDC). Once that is set, then the rotor must be pointed at the cylinder 1 spark plug wire on the distributor.

I attached the directions below for the removal and installation. Take a look and let me know if it helps.

Take care,

Joe
