I followed the FSM for installing the distributor/oil pump shaft and it matches the position and picture in the manual. when i put the distributor in and put the rotor on it seems to be in between two spark plug wires. the engine is set at TDC and i just want to make sure that this is where the rotor is supposed to be pointed at TDC. also, should the #1 spark plug wire be the one on top of the rotor in this position or just below it?

Thank you much.

This is what it should look like. Thanks to SBlake and xray for providing the pics when I needed them.

Normally, at least on my 73, the #1 spot on the cap is around 9 o'clock, not near the top. Check out the other pic for cap orientation.

It can be real easy to be off by just a tooth on the dizzy shaft. And if you are, it won't run right. I battled that for about 2 days before I finally got everything dialed in right. Once SBlake sent me the pic, I got it in just a few tries, but I must've taken the oil pump out 10 times before I finally did.

Thanks a bunch guys. Just wanted to make sure everything looked ok.
