Yes the rotor should be pointing to the #1 cylinder when you are installing the distributor.
That depends on the exact model/make of car.
If you are talking about points and condensor for your automobile they are located inside of your distributor located on you motor.
A "rotor button" is located under the distributor cap (in an older vehicle) prior to the use of "Coil on Plug" or electronic type of ignition systems. As the distributor rotates the rotor (which is attached to the distributor shaft) has only one contact point is directed to the spark plug to be "fired"
WHEN INSTALING THE DISTRIBUTOR THE ROTARY BUTTON HAS TO BE POINTING AT THE NUMBER 1 CYLINDER AT TDC
The point gap for a 65 mustang that had a 260/289 V8 with a single point, vacuum advance distributor was .014-.016. A car with a 170/200 6cyl motor with the single point vacuum advance distributor was .024-.026, and for a car that had the high performance 289 with the dual point, centrifugal advance distributor it was .019-.021
Advance the distributor until the engine pings then back off to the point the engine stops pinging, tighten the distributor. This will require driving a few test runs.
Yes.
There are no breaker points in a Dodge vehicle that new. That vehicle has electronic ignition. If the distributor has been changed you must use the spec that corresponds to the vehicle the distributor originally came from. Probably 0.014-0.019 inch. Please note: the 318 is an engine, not a motor.
Not unless someone put a breaker point's distributor in it. It had an HEI / HIGH ENERGY IGNITION distributor in it from the factory.
Sure ... once you replace the intake manifold and distributor it's just a gasoline powered motor at that point. The only issue you might have is with the motor mounts.
set cylender one at top dead senter then point thr rotor at cylender one that will set the distributer then turn the cap to finish the timing that always works for me
