On a 1985 Corvette distributor where is the rotor supposed to be pointing in the TDC position so you don't have to pull a spark plug and the cap on the side of this road?

It can not be done with any certainty with out getting number one cylinder on top dead center and on the compression stroke.

Where is Number 1 position on 1979 gm distributor cap?
Wherever the distributor rotor is pointing when the #1 piston is at TDC of it's compression cycle. When an engine comes from the factory it's supposed to always be in the same direction, but if the distributor has been removed and the person working on it wasn't too concerned, who knows WHERE it will be pointing. I can't believe that a distributor on a 79 has never been removed, so you'll need to find #1 TDC and figure it out from there.

What is the correct position is the rotator supposed to be for a 96 gmc jimmy 4.3?
there should be a notch to keep it from going on unless it is on correctly. i am assuming that it is the "rotator" under the distributor cap...
What is the timing supposed to be on a 92 Toyota corolla?
8º BTDC but the 1.8Liter 1ZZ FE does not have a distributor, it is 'timed' to spark by the ECU via the camshaft position sensor, to ignition coil on each cylinder, therefore not adjustable.
How do you install distributor drive on 1600 bug?
The distributor drive is a little shaft with a gear on the end of it that meshes with a gear on the crankshaft. Your first task is to be sure there's not one in there already. Stick your distributor in the hole where it goes, shove it in as far as it will go, and turn the rotor. If it meshes with something in there, you've got a distributor drive. Tighten the distributor clamp after you static-time the engine, and be happy. If you DON'T have one... remove the right-side valve cover. Turn the engine over with a wrench until number 1 cylinder (the one to the front of the car) is in firing position--both valves closed. Get a distributor drive, grease it up (it probably won't go in unless you do), and put it in the hole where it goes. Don't stick it in all the way. Put a rotor in your distributor, mesh the end of the distributor shaft with the distributor driveshaft--it only fits one way--and turn the rotor until the long, narrow end, which is where the fire comes from, is pointing at you. Now push the distributor down until it stops. If you have lived a clean life, the teeth on the distributor drive meshed with the teeth on the crank, and the distributor bottomed out like it was supposed to. No one gets that lucky, so just move the rotor back and forth a little and it will drop right in.

Why is it when you set your distributor on number 1 and check the timing gears the cam gear is at 12 O'clock and the Crank gear is 12 O'clock I know that the Crank gear is correct whats going on TY?
I'd have to double check, but I believe the cam and crank timing marks are SUPPOSED to be pointing directly at each other to be on #1TDC. Just turn the crankshaft 360 degrees, back to TDC, then point the distributor at #1. You shouldn't need to change the timing chain adjustment.
