==Ignition== [[File:Pontiac firing order.jpg]] {{Note1}}Often a specific distributor cap terminal was designated by the factory to be "number one". And the terminal designated as #1 will often be different depending on whether the ignition is points or HEI. But in actuality, terminal #1 can be ''any'' terminal. As long as the piston is at TDC ready to fire (not on exhaust stroke), whatever terminal the rotor is pointing to can be designated to be #1. Just be sure there is enough rotation allowed by the vacuum advance before it hits the firewall or intake to set the timing.
