Where on the distributor cap does number 1 spark plug wrie go on a 4.3 liter Chevy?

If you turn the engine to TDC on the compression stroke, the distributor rotor will point at the terminal for #1. Most distributors have a mark (usually a 1) on them under the cap to indicate the #1 position for the rotor to point at. The cap tower directly above the rotor point at this position is for the #1 spark plug.

Why would your car miss?

A miss or a missfire is when the spark plug does not create a spark or sparks at the wrong time. Causes of a missfire are: worn out spark plugs, bad spark plug gapping, bad or broken spark plug wire(s), worn out distributor cap and or rotor, bad ignition coil, worn gears on the distributor or camshaft, worn out timing chain/belt, for computer controlled engines the coil pack(s), ignition module, cam sensor, knock sensor, oxygen sensor, ecm, throtle position sensor, idle air control valve just to name a few (depends on manufacturer and model).

Where does the number one plug wire go on the distributor cap of a 1981 Chevy 350?

If you will remove the #1 plug, (driver's side front of engine), then turn that cylinder to top dead center, (TDC), on the compression stroke, you can then remove the distributor cap and look at the rotor. The rotor will now be pointing to the #1 plug position. GET THE NUMBER ONE CYLINDER TOP DEAD AND THE ROTOR IN THE DISTRIBUTOR SHOULD BE PIONTING AT IT


Will a distributor spark if it is not in the correct position?

That's not really what's going on. The coil makes the spark, the distributor distributes the spark to the correct plug. If the distributor is not in the correct position, the spark does not go to the correct plug, or goes to the correct plug at the wrong time.

Where is number1 on distributor cap Chevy v8?

The number one plug is the one on the drivers side front of the engine. Therefore the plug wire connected to that plug is number 1 and where it connects to the distributor is the number 1 position on the distributor. If you have removed all the plug wires then you will have to remove the spark plugs, turn the engine over until the number 1 cylinder is at top dead center (TDC) on the compressions stroke. Once it is at TDC then the rotor inside the distributor will be pointing to the number 1 position.

How do you set the timing on a 1984 Chevy S-10?

If the engine is EFI you must unplug the 4 wire plug behind the distributor before starting. Then rotate the distributor while using a timing light to the correct position. If the engine is NON EFI then you must unplug the vaccum line from the distributor and adjust the same way. You should plug the line off to avoid a high idle situation as well..
