Wire Position on Distributor Cap

Hello all,
I changed out the cap and rotor today and all hell broke loose. Wires got swapped...you know the drill. I got on the forums and found a post that stated that the #1 wire position was at the bottom of the distributor ( 6 o'clock position I assumed) and gave the correct firing order. On my original cap the #1 wire was one to the left, and that is how I have it now. It runs smooth with no problems...do I have the wires configured correctly?
Many thanks,
Christopher

If it runs smoothly, they are correct. It will run really rough if even 1 wire is misplaced or missing.

Thank you, just wanted to be sure.

Here's some pics along with some additional info on which wire goes where:

i have a question does your distributor have a hold down bracket or just the wings coming off the distributor itself?

bump

mine is held down by 2 screws iirc

Sorry, wasn't sure what you were asking or if your question was even directed at me. Are you asking about the distributor cap, or the actual distributor itself as your question implied? If you're asking about the cap, yeah, it is held down by two screws that are part of the cap assembly. If you are asking about the distributor, can't help you there, I've never removed/replaced mine.

If this doesn't answer your question I'd start a new thread as your question doesn't really have much of anything to do with the original post. State your question clearly and provide some details about your vehicle if you want a good response.

If its running good. You have them in the correct spots, :cheers:

In real life, the number 1 plug is where the #4 is now, then clockwise.
