your welcome
these connectors have (had) zinc plating over brass on some, or over steal.
and when the zinc goes away ,time and wear and corrosion these fail first. most did already, or flaky. It uses just normal "FastON" there.

the spark can be timed at any CAP post, the choice in the manual is to make it consistent, and in other pages of the FSM factory manual ,it uses this rotor position for checking valve latch and for setting cam belt timing, so is best set like this. (but not required)
if you look, inside the dizzy, cap off, and dust cover the CMP is seen cam sensor. this sensor as 4 huge lobes. (all 4 identical)
the ECU nor the Distrib, knows where #1 is , only you know and timing it correctly. 4 ways possible the harness will fight you at base for many of the 4 ways.
below is factory timed, and CCW is cam gear fixed, on MPI 4 injector engine.
I'd just drive it.

before messing here best be sure the timing freeze DLC jumper works correctly, ask.
