It means the the tower of the cap next to the 1 goes to the #1 cylinder.

dist cap

83 280zx turbo. i have found two different diagrams on the position of the cap one shows #1 approx 9oclock the other shows #1 approx 4-5oclock. i just had the car in the only shop in town that would even look at it. They replaced all 6 injectors and the fuel press regulator but when i picked it up it had no power and is missing and makes a popping sound under the hood when i accelorate.

Don't believe him! He just wants the cap for himself. It means you won first prize! You know how you can look under a bottle cap and win a prize? Well Nissan did the same thing but with the distributor cap instead!

...ok fine it's to mark cylinder one... anyhow make sure the plug on the AFM is pluged in properly - that will cause all sorts of problems.

You only have one shop in town that will work on cars? I'm mean it's not like the ZX is a super complicated system. If a mechanic can't work on that then you don't want to take ANY vehicle ever to that shop...

I hope you didn't pay for the car if they didn't fix it....

only paid for the injector and reg R & R. When i called around and told the sops what i had most of them just did not want to work on it. That included the NIssan place. The shop I found just works on fireign cars but most mechanics are younger than the car.
