Remove spark plug on #1 cylinder, rotate engine and use a screwdriver to feel when piston on TDC compression stroke. (All the way to top) Remove distributor cap and look at where rotor is pointing. That one. You can remove valve cover to tell compression stroke, both valves will be closed, otherwise you may be 180° off
get a Chilton's Manual from a local auto parts store...
take the old ones out then put the new ones in im guessing
.035" is factory using standard point type ignition.

You have to take coil packs off and then they are easier to get to. You will see the wires going to the plugs.
If you're asking about eliminating the vacuum advance on the distributor assembly, I don't think you can eliminate that without a computer controlled ingnition system. The vacuum solenoid is used to advance the spark under higher load, and works together with a centrifugal weighting system that adavances the spark based on RPMs.
no comment i just need the answer where is the number one spark plug on the 307 distributor cap
You will have no spark from the distributor.You will have no spark from the distributor.
To find where number one spark plug wire connects to the distributor, remove the distriutor cap and set number one piston at Top Dead Center (TDC). At TDC, the rotor should be pointing to where number one spark plug wire connects.
First check the emissions label under the hood at the front of the car near the fan shroud. There is a large label telling you important information about your car. The gap for a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado with a 500 ci engine is .060 in. make sure to buy good quality AC Delco plugs and torque them to 25 foot pounds.
Yes the rotor should be pointing to the #1 cylinder when you are installing the distributor.
My 93 camry has no power from the distributor to the spark plugs. The car unable to start.
