I'm having a real mental block. I just can't figure out where to find #1 in the HEI cap. I'm so use to Chevys and the points distributor where they tell you #1 is past the screw, window, etc., that I'm really loss. I looked on line so as not to bother anyone, but I still don't get it. I know for a fact, my #1 cylinder is on compression, so from what I read, you just drop the distributor in and as long as it seats properly with the oil pump, wherever the rotor points, that would be #1 in the cap?? Couldn't you move the oil pump so that the distributor rotor could point to any of 8 positions inside the cap?? The firing order of the Pontiac is the same as Chevy, but counter clockwise in rotation. So, to sum this up, drop the distributor in making sure it seats properly with the oil pump, wherever the rotor points will be #1 in the cap. Follow the firing order and rotation and that's it?? Somehow, I just don't think this is right. If someone could explain in laymen's terms a little better, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. Carmine.
