Can the number (1)? plug wire be put in any position on a distributor if it is set at top dead center on new motor. Many will say no, BUT early model it was possible. If you are setting up an old points, early HEI or electronic (fomoco mopar) CARBURATED it can be done. IF you are working on a TFI or MPI NO. The spark AND injectors have to be in sync, they MUST be set up to manufacturers specs.

Where is number one on a distributor?

It could be any one of the contacts. When the distributor was put in, depending on what type of motor it is, number one could be anywhere. You will need to bring number one cylinder to top dead center on the compression stroke and see where the rotor is pointing. That will be number one and set the rest of the plugs from that.
