I know this has been answered provable hundreds of times but I accidentally got my wires bundled up and lost which wire goes to where...If you guys could show me to the right thread ide appreciate it..

I got a 305 LG4 engine 84 z28..I'm looking for which wires goes into which boot of the distributor cap.

 

1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2... bring it up to TDC and the rotor is pointing to either the #1 or #6 terminal.

 

Thank u but from the distributor cap where is #1?and do the rest go clockwise from #1 or counter clockwise?

 

Clockwise. Bring it up to TDC and look at the rotor position.

 

#1 should point to the front driver's side cylinder

 

And of course, when you bring it up on #1 TDC, make sure that it's the one out of the 2 instances of #1 TDC during a complete engine cycle (of 2 revolutions) that's #1 firing, and not the other instance of #1 TDC which is the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke. Verify this by either having your assistant "bump" the starter slowly while you hold a finger over the #1 spark plug hole or by turning the crank with a crank-turning tool, NOT the damper bolt, until you feel compression; and then continuing to turn until the timing mark is approximately aligned.

 

ok so heres a picture of my distributor is this how it should be wired then?

 

#1 is in right spot, but you go clockwise, not counter clockwise. keep #1 where it is, then go 8,4,3,6,5,7,2 clockwise from #1
