301 Distributor and Plug Wire Installation
« on: December 12, 2022, 11:27:53 AM »
What is the factory distributor orientation and spark plug wire routing for a 1979 Trans Am, 4 speed?

Any pictures would be appreciated.

If by "orientation" you mean the rotation of the rotor, then it is counterclockwise.

No, the location the factory used for the number one spark plug wire terminal on the distributor cap.

I got this off of a Motor Auto repair manual.

This one is from a Chilton's manual, basically the same but from a different angle. I have several factory service manuals, but they aren't showing the plug wiring.
