When fitting or removing a distributor, the rotor arm points at No1. You do of course have to rotate the engine, so that No1 cylinder is on compression stroke and the timing marks are in about the right place first. Suzuki jeeps like the SJ 413, Vitara and Samurai are set up on No4 though.

If you will remove the #1 plug, (driver's side front of engine), then turn that cylinder to top dead center, (TDC), on the compression stroke, you can then remove the distributor cap and look at the rotor. The rotor will now be pointing to the #1 plug position. GET THE NUMBER ONE CYLINDER TOP DEAD AND THE ROTOR IN THE DISTRIBUTOR SHOULD BE PIONTING AT IT
