5.0L V8 Mercruiser
Like an idiot, last night I removed the distributor cap and wires and mislabeled them. After replacing w/ a new cap, the engine wouldn't catch and I realized my mistake.
My question: With the distributor cap off, will the rotor still be pointing to cylinder #1 or did my attempt to start the boat kick the rotor out of alignment? Can I reinstall the spark plug wires by using the rotor as pointing to cylinder #1 or do I have to find TDC and start from there?
Only the cap was off. The distributor was not removed from the engine.
Thanks in advance,
SoundView.
