To find the number 1 plug wire on the distributor cap of a 440 Dodge engine, start by locating the distributor and the cap. The number 1 cylinder is typically the driver's side front cylinder (nearest the radiator). From there, follow the rotor's rotation direction (usually counterclockwise) and place the number 1 wire in the corresponding position on the cap, then continue placing the other wires in the proper firing order.

find the distributor and at the bottom of it there is a bolt that you loosen that loosens the hold down plate that keeps it tight against the engine block, once you loosen the bolt the distributor will turn right or left, start the engine and then slowly turn the distributor one way or the other until you hear the engine RPM increase, when it increases you are advancing the timing.

How do you setdistributer?
On the compression stroke, bring number one cylinder up to TDC (Top Dead Center). Drop in distributor so rotor lines up with number one on the cap. Fasten distributor hold down clamp so that it is snugbut you can still rotate the distributor. Start engine andwith the use of a timing light set the timing to whatever specs the engine calls for.

To time a 1995 Dodge Neon 2.0 SOHC engine, you will need a timing light. Connect the timing light to the number one spark plug wire and aim it at the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley. Start the engine and adjust the distributor until the timing mark lines up with the specifications in the service manual.
What is the distributor position on a 1976 Dodge 360 or 318?
If you have made the mistake of removing the distributor from an engine without marking exactly where the rotor was, and where the distributor was, you have created a lot of work for yourself. First, you must get the crankshaft to Top Dead Center for the number one piston. There are timing marks on the pulley, which must line up with a pointer or mark mounted on the block. Once this is done, the distributor must be inserted into the head in such a way that the rotor will be under the number one cylinder plug wire position when the distributor is seated. This usually means having the rotor about 20 degrees offset when inserting the distributor, to allow for the worm gear to line up with the drive gear. Then, you have to turn the distributor until the lobe on the distributor shaft which opens the points is just beginning to open the points. Once this is done, the engine should start, and then will need to be timed with a timing light.
