Hey guys, i am assembling my 1200cc 40hp engine back together (big distributor) and i am not sure which lead from the cap goes to what spark plug. If you can explain to me where they go or post a picture that will be great. Thanks guys

Hi

On the rim of the dizzy you will see a very faint mark like a thin shallow hacksaw cut, thats #1, the firing order is 1432 or 4321 backwards

Looking at the motor 1 is at the front of the car right side, # 3 is at the front of the car left side, # 2 is at the rear of the car right side and # 4 is at the rear of the left side

^3 1
4 2

Ok so Cylinder #1 is sorted out i know that one. On the cap, the lead beneath cylinder 1, that would go to cylinder #4, then accross from that (on the left bottom of the cap) cyldiner #3 then above that, cylinder #2 ? Am i right?
