Hi
I changed my wires, cap, & rotor but forgot to look at the order in which or spot they came of the distributor cap. The book says facing forward (front of car) # 1 is to the right then 2 then to the left side front 3 then 4 how do you place them on the distributor cap?

Thank you

Firing order is 1-4-3-2. With the distributor cap off, turn the engine until a notch or mark in the pulley is at the top, lined up with the edge between the two sides off the engine case, and the rotor points toward a notch on the edge of the distributor base. Put the distributor cap on and the No. 1 wire over where the rotor points. Then No. 4 and so on, I think clockwise. Turn the engine clockwise--whichever way the distributor turns, put them on in that order.
