Hi. Im trying to find out what the starting point of the rotor button on the distributor for a black 308. some people say it faces the passenger seat...others say it faces the opposite direction? does anyone have any ideas??? Cheers
Hope this helps.
lol....i just found this...doing it right now...hope it works..
it dosnt matter which direction the rotor button points to, as long as it points to the NO 1 cyl spark plug lead at TDC comp stroke

Top gear @8500rpm
firing order is 1-2-7-8-4-5-6-3
and as said above point it to no 1 on cap, in a clockwise direction place the leads 1 2 7 8 4 5 6 3 etc..
1 3 5 7 drivers side, 2 4 6 8 passenger side.
It all depends which direction the rotor is facing, I have specs and it says the rotor points towards the passangers side but mine is facing the drivers side, It also depends on how the distributer was put in and where top dead center is. I think my distibuter was turned 180 degrees because the spark plug leads dont quite reach unless it was turned 180. hope this helps.
it doesn't matter where you start(with the position of the rotor) as long as you start with No1 cyl TDC on the compression stroke and then what ever point the rotor is on the cap goes to No1 cylinder. most people seem to start with the rotor at 1 oclock. i don't so the wires are arranged a little neater![]()
