As I believe I told you before, it does not matter where the rotor is pointing, so long as when the motor is at TDC on #1 that the rotor is pointing at the #1 plug wire.
I KNOW IT SHOULD BE BUT IT IS NOT,WHEN #1 IS AT TDC THE ROTOR IS POINTING AT THE #6 CYLINDER RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS.I THINK THE GUY THAT BUILT THE MOTOR PUT THE DIST.IN AND MADE WHAT EVER CYLINDER THE ROTOR WAS POINTING AT #1 IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Again, as I said before, twice now. Are you reading what I'm typing?

It DOES NOT matter where the rotor points, so long as when the motor is on #1 TDC that the rotor is pointing at #1 in the cap.

If the motor is on #1 TDC and the rotor is pointing at the #6 plug wire in the cap, then yes, it's wrong.
