On a 1981 Pontiac 301 distributor, the number 1 position is typically located at the front of the engine, aligned with the rotor's position when the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. The distributor cap will have numbers or a marking indicating the cylinder order, with the number 1 usually positioned at the 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock position, depending on the specific setup.
