The distributor cap is located on the top of the distributor. It is held in place by four screws. The cap has eight terminals, which are numbered 1-8. The terminals are connected to the spark plug wires.
The firing order for a 2000 Chevy 5.7 engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. This means that the spark plug wire from terminal 1 on the distributor cap should go to spark plug number 1 on the engine, and so on.
The distributor cap also contains the rotor. The rotor is a small, round piece of metal that rotates inside the cap. The rotor is connected to the distributor shaft. As the distributor shaft rotates, the rotor moves past the terminals on the cap. This causes the spark plug wires to fire in the correct order.
If the distributor cap is not properly connected, the engine will not run properly. This is because the spark plugs will not fire at the correct time. If you are having problems with your engine, you should check the distributor cap to make sure that it is properly connected.
