first bring the number one cylinder to tdc compression stroke. then drop in the new dist, and line the rotor up with a terminal on the new cap. this will be your number one terminal. it doesnt matter where it is, as long as the dist is wired correctly.

The wire sequence is counter clockwise on the distributor cap.
