Firing order from the front to the firewall should be: 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 5 - 1 . All you need to do is find the number 1 position on the dist. cap and go in sequence from there. Good Luck

Number 1 is the second terminal clockwise from the forward holddown screw.

The distributor rotates clockwise. I dunno how you count, but the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. Maybe I'm dyslexic, but it sure looks like you have it backwards.

my dad taught me to remember the firing order is like women--
15 36 24 To young, to old, just right.
