Ray.........what Steve and Andy said......and.... It really doesn't matter where the #1 nipple is as long as the distributor rotor points to it when it is suppost to ...ie...4*BTDC. (#1 cyl at top of compression stroke).......because you can rotate the distributor body to make the rotor match #1 nipple. Some sidemount 5-nipple caps have a molded "1", lotta don't......BUT.....because there is only 1-way to install the distributor cap (has locating lug) the cap ALWAYS mounts the same way on the distributor body. Traditionally, the 8N sidemount distributor body is mounted so the #1 nipple is about 7-8 o'clock and the rotor is pointing to #1 nipple underneath the cap. (has to do mostly with being able to get to the oil nipple) And if you don't like where everything lines up, then pull the distributor a bit and rotate the helical rotor shaft a gear notch and re-install. Remember: firing order is 1,2,4,3 CCW........Dell
