Car will not start, it cranks. New distributor, where should the rotor be pointing to what cylinder?

Things have to be "set right" before you can put the distributor in.

Then you must point it correctly too.

Seeings that the engine has been turned and probably no marking was done when it was pulled, I am guessing you will be starting from scratch to get it right.

No big deal!

I am going to link you to another post I answered.

Pay attention towards the end of the link, There are a couple of links there (class one and two), They will totally make you understand the situation! I suggest watching them a couple of times while seeing which situation you are in, and of course, how to get out of it! (Disregard the Jeep specs in the link, the process is the same)
