Do I have the arrow on the #1 spark plug wire? This is a distributor for a 2.0l stock FI engine.

Distributor drive gear from the factory manual:

Installation

The following points must be observed:
1 - Check helical teeth of ignition distributor drive shaft for wear. If wear of helical teeth is excessive, be sure to check teeth of ignition distributor drive gear.

2 - Check wahers under ignition distributor drive shaft for wear; use new washers, if required.

3 - Adjust cylinder 1 to firing point. At that moment, the exhaust valve on
cylinder 3 will close and the inlet valve will begin to open.

4 - Install ignition distributor drive shaft.The offset slot in the top end of the distributor drive shaft should be at an angle of approx 12 degrees (the picture in the manual show this 12 degrees to be pointing left of center line of engine) in relation to the longitudinal axis of the engine; the smaller sector faces towards vehicle outside.

5 - Install spacing spring. When installing the distributor shaft in 1.8 liter
engines, beginning with 1974 models, use the 7.S” mark instead of the indicated TDC mark. 2.4-3/2 RemovaI and Installation of Ignition Distributor Drive Shaft
