Where is number one on a Chevy 350 distributor cap?

Understanding the User’s Request
Based on the user’s request, it seems they are looking for information on the location of the number one cylinder on a Chevy 350 distributor cap. They want to know where to start the number one plug wire on the distributor cap.
Answer
The number one cylinder on a Chevy 350 distributor cap is located at the driver’s side front. To find the position on the cap, you can turn the engine until the timing mark on the lower pulley points to 0 on the scale, then check the rotor position in the distributor. If it’s pointing towards the firewall, make one more turn.
It’s important to note that the location of the number one cylinder on the distributor cap may vary depending on the engine and distributor setup. However, for small- and big-block Chevy engines, the number one cylinder is always at the driver’s side front. Chevrolet numbers its cylinders with odd numbers on the left (driver) side and even cylinders on the right. The left side is numbered 1-3-5-7, and the right side is 2-4-6-8.
