1 is where the rotor is when number 1 cylinder is firing. Then clockwise from 1, 8,4,3,6,5,7,2.
It should be the same as the small block.18436572.
Yes it will fit. This distributor will fit all small block and big block Chevrolet engines.
1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 all small block and big block firing patterns are 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 for Chevy
yes
Clockwise.
Clockwise.
No the distributor gear that is on the end of the distributor is to small for the big block cam shaft.
The distributor can be turned both ways. The rotor however, which I suspect you are asking about, turns clockwise on a small block V8.
305 is the same distributor as a 350 will even fit some big block chevy's.
NO. Depends on the year. On the pre-fuel injected motors, all Chevy V-8 engines used the same distributor. Use some common sense, a 1968 distributor is not the same as a 1980, but you get the idea. Use one from the same era as your vehicle.
no
Cranksaft turns twice for 1 distributor rotation.
