If the distributor has been out of the truck recently, could be it wasn't reinstalled correctly. If the distributor has not been disturbed, sounds like a timing chain problem. ANOTHER ANSWER: Every time the rotor turns one complete round the crankshaft will turn twice. Knowing that, the crankshaft will pass TDC TWICE while the rotor will only point to the #1 cylinder once. If the crankshaft is at TDC and the rotor is not pointing at #1 it may just be that the rotor is pointing directly opposite. If that's the case, just turn the engine by hand, once around until it's pointing at TDC again.

What is the 350 Chevy number one cylinder and what is the number one on distributor cap?
Number one cylinder is located driver's side front of engine. With the # 1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor will be pointing at #1 plug on cap.Number one cylinder is located driver's side front of engine. With the # 1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor will be pointing at #1 plug on cap.
Where is the position of the rotor when your at top dead center?
At TDC, on the compression stroke, the rotor will will be pointing at the # 1 spark plug electrode on the distributor cap.
Where schould the rotor point on a Chevy 350 at td i did not take it apart?
Should be pointing at the wire that goes to the cylinder that is at tdc. You can contact me for more info as I am having a hard time trying to know what you are asking.
What direction should the rotor be facing at TDC on a amc 360?
first you need to get a diagram that shows you were number one plug wire goes, and then the rotor should be pointing at it when the motor is a tdc, but if it helps mie was facing the drives side.
Which way do you start putting the plug wires on a distributor cap on a 350?
I assume your working on a S.B. Chevy 350 - If so the rotor turns clockwise. turn the engine to TDC on the compression stroke, and wire the cap starting at the tower where the rotor it pointing. 18436572 is the firing order, and the drivers side bank is 1357 from the front, and the passenger side is 2468
What direction should the rotor be facing at TDC on 1994 3.1 Lumina Van that had the distributor removed without making reference marks before removing?
With the # 1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke the rotor will be pointing at #1 plug wire location.
What position should the plug on the distributor be in at TDC on a 4.3 Chevy?
The rotor inside the distributor should be pointing at the #1 spark plug.
On the 89 Chevy 350 how do you set TDC when the aftermarket cap doesn't acknowledge where TDC is on the distributor cap?
Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 The # 1 piston is located front of engine drivers side. Remove the spark plugs, disconnect the coil wire, turn the engine over until the # 1 piston is at Top Dead Center, (TDC) on the compression stroke. Once it reaches TDC the rotor will be pointing at the # 1 position on the distributor cap. Rotor turns clockwise.
Where should the rotor be pointing when the 1 cylinder is at top dead center on a 1987 ford ranger 2.9liter v6 engine?
It really doesn't matter where it points as long as it's pointing at the post on the distributor that has the number one wire on it. Just remember, that's a 50/50 chance. It could be 180 degrees out of time. At TDC, the rotor should be pointing toward the position where the number 1 spark plug wire plugs into. If the rotor is pointing in the opposite direction you need to rotate the engine once more since the engine rotates twice, once on the compression stroke (TDC) and once on the exhaust stroke (not TDC).
Why would your rotor be pointing at the 6 position on the distributor when the 1 cylinder is TDC?
once the number 1 piston is on tdc which ever point the rotor is facing becomes the number one position. if you conect the wires from there and follow your firing order you should have no problems.(i have done it)
Chevy 350 where is 1 on the distributer if it is not marked?
It's not marked because #1 can be just about anywhere. When the engine comes from the factory, it's always the same, but if the distributor has been removed, #1 will be whereever the rotor is pointing when #1 piston is at TDC at the top of the compression cycle.
Number 1 terminal on distributor cap for 1994 integra?
The easiest way to find it is to set #1 piston at TDC and see where the rotor is pointing, it should be pointing to number 1 terminal on the distributor cap.
