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

These pics are from a '74 2.0
  This problem with finding #1 and the mark in distributor may have already been resolved but thought I would add a couple pics just in case you want verification on the position of the mark (line on edge of distributor noting #1). This is not an exact science but I have found that if I place my vacuum housing by the bail holding the oil filler (chimney) it is a pretty good starting point for timing. Helped a buddy and it got his running decent to start with (as far as his timing was concerned). See pics for (maybe) a good starting point. To be honest I put it there and leave it. Works for me and worked for a buddy. I know things can be different but a good starting point doesn't hurt. I am not very good at setting my timing with reving the motor to 3500rmp with dwell tach hooked up and getting past the advance on the distributor. I found this pretty close. |
