Inside the distributor on my 94 B250 is a plastic piece that covers the bottom of the distributor. Ihas a wire coming out of it. On it, it has a mark and says number one cylinder, or something like that. But it is there.
umm, 8?
On a 351 Cleveland engine, the number 1 cylinder is typically located at the front of the engine on the driver's side. Consequently, the number 1 position on the distributor cap is usually aligned with the terminal that corresponds to this cylinder. When installing the distributor, ensure that the rotor points to this terminal when the engine is at top dead center on the compression stroke for cylinder number 1.
number one wire will point to the number one cylinder
no1 on the distributor always points towards the no one cylinder
On the Nissan N13, number 1 on the distributor typically corresponds to the cylinder closest to the timing belt, which is the first cylinder in the firing order. To locate it, identify the distributor cap and look for the terminal that leads to this cylinder. It's essential to ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) for cylinder one when setting timing or replacing the distributor. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual for specific details related to your model.
Easiest way to find it is to set #1 piston at TDC and remove the distributor cap to see where the rotor is pointing. It should be pointing to #1 cylinder position in relation to the distributor cap.
On a distributor for a 305 Chevy engine, number 1 is typically located at the front of the engine, aligned with the driver's side cylinder head. When setting the timing or installing the distributor, you should position the rotor to point toward the number 1 spark plug wire on the cap. This corresponds to the first cylinder on the driver's side, which is the front-left cylinder when facing the engine.

Yes the rotor should be pointing to the #1 cylinder when you are installing the distributor.
If you look at the distributor of the car, sometimes they are marked with the cylinder number on the cap. Find number 1 and follow the spark plug cable to the spark plug. That will be No. 1 cylinder.
To check if your distributor is installed backwards on a 1972 Plymouth Cuda with a 318 engine, first ensure the rotor is pointing toward the number one cylinder when the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. If the rotor points away from the number one cylinder or is misaligned, the distributor may be installed incorrectly. Additionally, verify that the distributor gear is properly engaged with the oil pump drive. If you encounter difficulty in aligning the rotor with the number one cylinder, it may indicate that the distributor is reversed.
