When the #1 piston is at TDC./ TOP DEAD CENTER on the compression stroke the rotor should be pointing towards the #1 cylinder when the distributor is installed correctly.
rotor should point to cylinder #1
With the #1 cylinder on top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke, the rotor should point to #1 on the distributor cap.
The distributor can be turned both ways. The rotor however, which I suspect you are asking about, turns clockwise on a small block V8.
the rotor should point just to the driver side of the front of the block while the engin is a top dead center, there will be a timing mark on the harmonic balancer for find this, then there is only one way for the distributor cap to go on, the front driver side is #1 cylinder
The cap and rotor are considered wear items and should be replaced. No repair options are practical.
it will be facing the number one cylinder plug wire on distributer cap,#1 cyl will be the one at the front on the driver side
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.
No, not that I know of. Firing order of the 454 Chevy Big Block is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 rotor turns clockwise.
The rotor inside the distributor should be pointing at the #1 spark plug.
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Rotor turns clockwise.
1 is where the rotor is when number 1 cylinder is firing. Then clockwise from 1, 8,4,3,6,5,7,2.
A Chevy 409 distributor rotor rotates clockwise.
