∙ 10y agoOn a Ford 302 V8 :
Every drawing I have seen in repair manuals shows
( the # 1 position on the distributor cap facing towards the REAR and
towards the # 7 engine cylinder / one o'clock position )

The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the FRONT and center of the engine
On number one terminal, put engine at tdc on 1. If engine/rotor hasn't moved, leave rotor alone.
The minimum thickness is stamped on the inside of the rotor. If they have been resurfaced once and need it again you should replace the rotors. .905 (In thousandths of an inch) Application: Front rotor .394 (In thousandths of an inch) Application: Rear rotor With 4 cylinder engine .354 (In thousandths of an inch) Application: Rear rotor With 6 cylinder engine

It should be cast onto the rotor itself.
On a Ford V6 engine : clockwise ( unless it's the 3.8 liter V6 engine which has the distributor at the front of the engine , that one is counterclockwise ) On a Ford inline ( straight ) six cylinder the distributor rotor turns clockwise
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
Rotor as in distributor? Shouldn't make any noise-good or bad; engine will miss. Rotor as in front wheel, should be taken to a tire store a measured by caliper. If your hearing noise in your front rotors, not a good idea to keep driving it like that.
When the # 1 piston is at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor is pointing to at the # 1 position on the cap. # 1 cylinder is on driver's side, at front of engine.
Not sure what exactly the question is, but the front rotor is number 1 and the rear rotor is number 2. The answer would be 0. An Rx-7 has 0 cylinders, and 2 rotors.
Remove all spark plugs. Turn the engine by hand until the #1 plug (front of engine driver's side) is at top dead center on the compression stroke. The rotor will now be pointing to the #1 plug location on the cap.Remove all spark plugs.
