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.
