To find cylinder 1 on the distributor cap of an A15-M engine, first locate the distributor, which is usually near the engine's front. Identify the rotor's position when the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder 1; the rotor should point toward the terminal for cylinder 1 on the cap. The cylinder numbering typically starts from the front of the engine and follows a specific firing order, so ensure you know the correct orientation. From there, you can trace the ignition wires to confirm the connection to cylinder 1.
It should be marked on your distributor cap. Just find the wire next to the one and follow it to the cylinder.
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.

It doesn't have a distributor cap.
go to a shop that's your best bet
6 cylinder, yes. 4 cylinder, no.
On a 1994 Acura Integra, the number one terminal on the distributor cap is typically aligned with the number one cylinder, which is the front cylinder on the engine. When looking at the distributor cap, the number one terminal is usually located at the top or the front, depending on the orientation of the cap. It's essential to confirm the cylinder numbering and the distributor cap layout specific to your engine model for accuracy.
On the 5.0 liter and 5.8 liter V8 engines , # 1 on the distributor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side On the 4.9 liter straight 6 cylinder , # 1 on the distributor cap faces AWAY from the engine
Chevy 350 cylinder 1 on top dead center timing mark aligned , rotor should be at 7:00 (standing at front) distributor cap should be square with engine 7:00 should be at #1 on cap
umm, 8?
Most caps are marked for where cylinder 1 goes.
be it a 4,6,or8 cylinder....be sure you have the crank on TDC, top dead center, install the distributor so that the rotor is pointing to #1 cylinder on the cap
