Scott,
1. crank engine with distributor cap OFF, and note which direction
the rotor is turning...
2. get number one piston to top dead center on the compression
stroke....
3. when you re-install the distributor cap (with number 1 piston at
TDC on compression) the rotor will be pointing at the #1 tower on the
cap.....
4. install wires on the cap in the correct firing order (1,3,4,2) in
the direction of rotor rotation...
problem should be solved other than minor "timing adjustment" provided
by rotating distributor a bit one direction or the other....
Hope this helps.
Ken.
