Where does the distribtor rotor point at when on TDC towards?

When the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke, the distributor rotor should point towards the terminal corresponding to the cylinder that is currently firing. This ensures that the ignition spark is delivered to the correct cylinder at the right moment in the engine cycle. If the engine is on TDC for a different cylinder (like the exhaust stroke), the rotor will not point to the correct terminal. Always ensure proper timing alignment during distributor installation.
