    1962 fuel injection

    Please tell me where the number 1 cylinder spark plug wire goes on the distributor cap for a 1962 fuel injection. The manuals all show the number one goes to the front right of center when looking down and to the front of the distributor, but the car runs awful and the timing is't on the scale.
    Thanks,

    Set the timing. there is a band under the base that the dist cap attaches to. Loosen that band and you can rotate the distributor top to achieve proper timing, without disturbing the bottom section that is pinned and clamped in place.

      Have you checked timing mark to see where the rotor points when mark is on TDC?
      Did you have the distributor out? If you did it probably slipped a tooth and needs to be brought back. If that's the case e-mail me and I'll explain how to do that.

        On an FI, the #1 wire can be in any position you choose, as long as it corresponds to #1 piston being in the firing position. On the FI cars the distributer rotates independently of the housing. You can't get the proverbial "1 tooth off", but you can get 180* off. If you don't know how to time an engine from scratch, either find a manual which describes the process or ask the question on this board. It's pretty simple if you understand how.
