take a couple pics like you have already and put it back the same way you took it apart! haha if it worked before it'll work again! :thumbsup:

 

cyl numbers are on cap

 

That drawing is just a representation of what cylinder fires in what order. Your dist. cap is indexed to the dist. body and will only go on one way. It will be just like in your photo. The cylinder numbers are molded into the top of the cap to make it easy. Do one wire at a time to make the job practically fool-proof.

 

This post answers both your questions. Your distributor is indexed, the three bolts are NOT equal distance apart. You can only put it on one way, numbers molded in or not. The picture of the firing order just shows the firing order, and is in no way meant to be a wiring schematic, or factual representation of the actual wiring, just the firing order, period.

 

thanks everyone i will just replaced the distributor as shown in my picture with the 3 facing upward to the bolt.
i just put the new distributor back. but i will have to look again if i put the wires correct . why nobodys has ask this questions or post a picture of how the wires go? i have spent a few hours searching and came up with nothing. glad i had that saved to my computer this are things that should be up incase another noob like me comes around wondering.

 

Dude... it's impossible to put it on any other way. The bolts wont line up if you try to.

 

I think what he is getting at is which wire goes on top when the dizzy cap is on correctly... Most caps are numbered but not all... of the 5 that I have seen recently between 3 cars one of them was not numbered...

 

yes this is what i meant.

 

but his is. look at his pic.

 

the dist has 3 bolts i was just wondering how do i set up the dist . like which number has to be lined up with the top bolt on the distributor as shown on my picture it has the number 3 but on the picture i got online it shows number 1.

 

thanks everyone this helped alot tomorrow im off to doing the wires and spark plugs :thumbsup:
i didnt try to put the distributor otherway i was just asking i don't want to do something stupid lol and regret it.
