set the number 1 cylinder to TDC and then pull the dizzy cap off and see what post its pointing to this should be #1 and then it goes clockwise from there
1-3-4-2

Plug order goes right to left which means next to the cam gear is the #1 spark plug and 4 is closest to the dist.

hey tim .. when you call me it says unknown call, i usally don't answer thoses because them be bill collectors or phone solisitors usally (my cell is my home phone also)

so if you call me and i don't answer leave me a VC and i'll call you back, because i wont call most people back unless i they leave a message.

and i was at the track tonight if you tried to call
