I replaced my distributor after an mpfi swap and noticed when I put it on, the rotor was not pointing at the #1 spark plug. Now it cranks funny when trying to start. Some one said to just put the #1 plug wire wherever the rotor points but i thought id ask you guys befre i did that. what d you think?

 

double and triple check you have the firing order right, slap your friend with your **** for that answer

 

1 3 4 2 is the firing order, #1 will be the bottom back wire if your looking at the motor head on.

 

yes all my plugs are in the right spots. But it will not start and is cranking funny. should I try to set the motor at tdc for #1 piston and go from there?

 

You did put in a known good Si/HF (MPFI) distributor, correct?

You did the MPFI wiring conversion/modifications correctly?

You are using the correct ECU?

The distributor only fits one way, I doubt that is the problem.
