Did it again I don't remember where things go.
What post is #1 on the distributor cap.
What plug in the injector harness goes to what injector.
Almost got it back together but running rough and had a small fire .

Distributor - it depends on how it was installed. Easiest way to find TDC of #1 is to remove the spark plug, then (with the coil unplugged) have someone tap the key until you can feel the air in the cylinder pushing out. Then look at the distributor. Wherever it's pointing should be #1.
I fought my own damn self the other day until my brain caught up.

I believe the Fuel Injector plugs will lay out and it doesn't matter which one goes where, it's a batch fire system. All injectors fire at the same time.

Over the years here, I've seen so much confusion relating to setting the static timing.
First of all, the cap position can be anywhere you wish to orient it... as long as the rotor is pointing to the terminal used for #1... and the piston is at the top of the compression stroke for cylinder #1.
The only thing restricting where the distributor can actually be positioned is the wiring harness. Obviously the connection for the ICM can't be pointed away from the coil if you expect to connect the harness etc.
Below is the 2.8 in my Formula. To do the initial static timing, I have the timing mark for cylinders #1 and #4 (the wider mark on a known good harmonic balancer) set to 0° with #1 piston on the compression stroke. If I'm installing the distributor, I drop it down so that when fully seated, the rotor is pointing at the indicated bolt on the upper intake. I then rotate the outer distributor so that the terminal I'm using as #1 (as it could be any which one you want) is lined up with the rotor. The terminal I've selected seems to work best in regards to orienting the distributor towards the coil. The engine is now timed well enough to start, and dynamic timing can now be set with a timing light (or for the old guys like me, by ear). Nothing to it.
