Ok...so this might be a stupid question to ask but what side of the car is the timing mark on, and also where is number one spark plug wire on the distributor is at 11:00 or is it on 5:00. The book does not specify according to the cheltons 1973 manual i am not able to determine these facts.

What engine have you got? 1600? 200? 2300? on the 2000 the #1 wire is at the 2 or 3 o'clock position, if you're facing the front of the car.#2 is at the 10-11 o'clock;  #3 is  at the 4-5 o'clock;  #4 the 7-8 o'clock. This is according to my 2000 cc '73 wagon. The 2300 cc should be the same.  The '71-'75 Chiltons helped me configure this too. Don't know about timing marks though. Good luck!

Is the condenser at 5:00?? And yes its a 2000cc

Er, that's a good question. I haven't had to pull the distributor cap off my '73 yet. Sorry. Somebody step in please!

are you viewing it in the front where the lights are or what?

timeing marks at the crank are on the passenger side , back lip of the crank pulley  now on the dizzy look under the cap on the dizzy houseing sometimes their is a small notch where the cap sits on the houseing hope this helps
