Mark your number one spark plug wire where it attaches to the cap ( i use white fingernail polish for marking parts ). Take your new distributor cap out of the box and mark it where you would put the number 1 spark plug cable on it. Then unplug the #1 spark plug wire and the coil wire ( the one in the middle ). Use your finger or carefully use a screwdriver to unpop the two metal clamps that hold the cap down. Since you are replacing your cap you should also replace the rotor, if you have a new one do that now. Plug the #1 spark plug wire and coil wire into the new cap and put it on the distriburtor. Pull off the other spark plug wires and plug them into the new cap , one at a time, in the same place where they were on the original cap.
