Turn the engine to top dead center on #1 cylinder. Make sure your on the compression stroke. this can be done by covering the spark plug hole and quickly bumping the starter. when it blows your finger away its on the compression stroke. continue to move the engine slowly in the same direction until the piston is at the top. take the dist cap off and look at the rotor. Wherever its pointing will be the #1 position. It can actually be anywhere in the rotation depending on how the distributor was installed.

Where on the distributor cap does number 1 spark plug wrie go on a 4.3 liter Chevy?

If you turn the engine to TDC on the compression stroke, the distributor rotor will point at the terminal for #1. Most distributors have a mark (usually a 1) on them under the cap to indicate the #1 position for the rotor to point at. The cap tower directly above the rotor point at this position is for the #1 spark plug.
