I replaced the distributor cap on my 93 Mazda Protege LX

I had to put the replacement cap on in another direction the old one was on and need to know what plug wire is #1 and in what order they go once you get #1 on

Yes you would need to give us the engine size. There are two different engines in the 323 and protege BUT the distributo and the distributor cap look VERY simular. Also the aftermarket rotor's have a bad habbit of being made to fit in three directions, causing all sorts of problems.

Make sure you got the correct parts and year/model of engine.
