I got my plug wires all screwed up (dont ask please! :) ) and really need to know the firing orer quickly. Also... where should the #1 plug wire be located on the distributor cap and in what direction does the rotor botton move?


thanks!

Looking down upon the rotor, it moves in a clockwise direction.

The firing order is simply 1, 2, 3, 4. The cylinders themselves as viewed from the back of the engine are:

2...1

4...3

If I remember correctly, I believe that the distributor cap plug wire locations are marked, relating to what cylinder they go to.
