used to be the caps would only fit one way, since dont have a veh with caps anymore cant tell. So if not marked I guess just go with the one that is fitting the description of the directions for location. Remember when they used to show the hold down clips for locating #1?
If all elese fails pull the plugs and turn the engine until #1 cyl is up in firing position and look where the rotor points, them mark with magic marker or paint.
