The location of the #1 spark plug wire on the distributor cap will correspond to the #1 cylinder. Unfortunately, determining the exact physical location on the distributor cap *without a picture of your specific distributor* is impossible. The wires are arranged around the cap in a circular pattern, but the orientation of #1 can vary slightly between distributors.
To find #1:
1. Locate the #1 cylinder: This is typically the cylinder closest to the radiator on the passenger side (though double-check your engine bay). You may need to consult a repair manual or online diagrams specific to your engine for precise location.
2. Follow the #1 spark plug wire: Once you've identified the #1 cylinder's spark plug, trace the wire back to where it connects to the distributor cap. That's the location of #1 on the cap.
Remember: Always consult a repair manual specific to your vehicle's year and engine for the most accurate information. Using incorrect firing order or plug placement can cause serious engine damage.
