Where should rotor butten be pointing when top dead center on 302?
When the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on a Ford 302, the rotor button should be pointing towards the number one cylinder, which is typically located at the front of the engine on the driver's side. Ensure that the timing mark on the harmonic balancer aligns with the TDC mark on the timing cover as you check the rotor's position. This alignment is crucial for proper ignition timing and engine performance.
When setting ignition timing on ford 302 5.0 engine does the rotor need to pointing to the number one on the distributor cap?
If you are setting the timing with a timing light then it don't matter where the rotor is pointing. But if you are putting the Distributor in then yes. When it is in, It must be pointing to #1 on cap so vaccume advance don't hit the thermostat housing when you adjust the timing with a light.
What position should the rotor be in when it is firing in the number one position and the piston is TDC and the timing marks are 0-0?
the rotor should be pointing towards the number one plug position on the distributor cap, and the engine should be on compression stroke. If its not the motor will be 180 degrees out
How do you align timing marks on Nissan pick up 2.4 where is the distrubretor pointing (rooter)?
To align the timing marks on a Nissan pickup with a 2.4-liter engine, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) for cylinder one on the compression stroke. The timing marks on the crankshaft pulley should align with the pointer on the timing cover. The distributor rotor should be pointing towards the number one cylinder's terminal on the distributor cap. After aligning, double-check the marks and rotor position before reassembling the components.
What position is the rotor after timing the cams with the crank shaft.?
Standard is that it is pointing at the number one position on the distributor cap.
When timing a 350 engine does the distributor point to the number one piston or the number one spark plug?
Yes the rotor should be pointing to the #1 cylinder when you are installing the distributor.
Where should the rotor in the distributor be pointing with cap removed?
With the distributor cap removed, the rotor should be pointing towards the terminal that corresponds to the number one cylinder in the engine's firing order. This position is critical for proper ignition timing, as it indicates where the spark will be sent when the engine is cranked. If the rotor is misaligned, it can lead to misfires or starting issues. Always ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the number one cylinder when setting the rotor position.
After installing timing belt on 1993 Mazda MPV V6 the distributor rotor is not pointing at number one is it normal to pull and reset the distributor?
There should be no need to do anything with the distributor as part of a timing belt job, I've done it twice now on my '92 MPV V6. After you installed the belt with all the markings lined up, did you rotate the crankshaft, and if so, how many times? Don't forget that the crankshaft rotates TWO revolutions for every ONE revolution of the camshafts...so if your rotor is pointing exactly opposite from number one, give the crankshaft one more full revolution--all your markings should then be lined up and your rotor should be pointing at number one.
How do I replace the distributor in small block Chevrolet v8?
Bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Look at the rotor to make sure its pointing to the No1 plug tower. If it is remove the distributor. THEN DON'T MOVE THE ENGINE. When installing distributor make sure the rotor is pointing to the No1 plug tower and install distributor. You can use a timing lite to reset the timing.
How can you tell if your engine timing is 180 degrees off without looking at timing gears?
Look at the distributor and make a mark on the housing where the #1 cylinder connects. Then pull the distributor cap. The mark is so you know where #1 is with the cap off. Next, bring #1 cylinder to top dead center on the compression stroke. The rotor should be pointing at the mark you made. If you need directions on how to get #1 to TDC on the compression stroke - another topic..
On a 1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA if your timing marks are dot to dot where should the rotor button be facing what plug number on the cap?
If the timing marks are dot to dot and you know for a fact that the engine is at Top Dead Center (it's possible to have the timing marks dot to dot but be on the exhaust instead of the compression stroke), and the distributor has not been removed - or if removed, replaced in its original position, the rotor should be pointing where number one spark plug wire plugs in.
Can a distributor be one notch off and still work as long as the number one wire goes where the rotor is pointing?
If you can find the mark with a timing light, yes.
