Where was 6 and 5?
Welp...your best bet might be to re-time the engine then. Bring it back to #1 TDC on the compression stroke, and see where the rotor is pointing, that will be wire position #1.now i'm really confused my old wires 1and 8 wr at the back closest to fire wall
It probably won't start? If that's the case, It's 180° off. Pull the distributor and turn it half a turn and put it back in.now i'm really confused my old wires 1and 8 wr at the back closest to fire wall
That is showing the distributor at the back. You can see the pulley at the fron.my distributor is at the back
no service manual yet, counter clock wise cap seems to be 1-8-6-5-4-3-7-2 (old wires on cap)The FSM is the best place to get something like that. You have one, right ?

Let's not have 2 people with issues in the same thread. Let the OP get his figured out first. It's way too confusing.wow what a mess, you think i would learn, my 55 crown distributor was 180* out and it ran so bad ,i almost had to push it home after driving it 200 miles from wr i bought it .
ok #1 TDC ,timing mark at 0, rotor is pointing at #5 on your photo, yes my car is clockwise.
Right now my #1 is at the fire wall and firing order 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 "YIKES"
