Re: Rotor position with cap off
You want to make sure the #1 cylinder in on TDC of the compression stroke. The rotor should be point toward the front of the vehicle, usually a little toward the driver side... 5 o'clock looking at it from the front of the truck...
If the distributor is 180 off, it usually pops through the carb.
