454 Dist cap wiring.
Changing my dist cap, wires, plugs and noticed that what's on the motor doesn't jive with the numbers on the cap. The numbers on the cap are consistant with what's in my service manual.
The wires are setup 18436572 but not starting where the book (and cap) indicate.
Currently, the #1 wire is in the hole closet to the carb. The book and cap indicate that it should be at the top left (if your standing at the front of the motor looking back at the dist.) Basically, the wires are a few spots advanced of what the book shows.
Is this done to advance the timing or should I try doing it as the cap and book indicate?
Thanks.
