Hey guys i decided while i was doing a new intake manifold that i would change the distributor over to one of those ford Hei distrubutors for a ford 302. My question is simply this, Where do the wires on the old distrubitor cap go on the new hei distrubitor? Basicly what is cylinder number 1 on the hei distrubitor?

hey,

I'm not ignoring you.. it's just that I'm more GM oriented than Ford oriented...

Hopefully one of our Ford specialists will chime in with the info you are looking for.

The only thing I remember about Fords is that the rotor turns the other way.

Counterclockwise instead of clockwise.

They will be in the same spot as the old distributor. You wire it back in the same location that is was in on the old one nothing changed with the plug wires. they remain in the same order. If that's what you are asking. :thumbup:
