The F4 tornado touched down at 3:50 pm roughly two miles southeast of Cherry Valley. It then passed through the Chrysler plant destroying hundreds of vehicles. From there it moved east/northeast towards Belvidere where most of the destruction occurred.
The Chicago National Weather Service put together a very nice summary for the 40th anniversary of not only that tornado, but others that moved through northern Illinois. You can find it here.
