Ignition firing order?
Anyways, looked at a few threads on here and found that the ignition firing order should be 1-3-4-2 clockwise, which is fine but from what I have read the 1st lead is the most northern near the head, well mine isn't its the furthest on the right??
Its still the same firing order but all shuffled round one? She seems to run ok, just thought it odd and if anyone could shed light on the matter, would she run at all if they were in the wrong place??
Have got a pic but not sure how to put it on here, where do I find image ULR?
Thanks

just a quick tip, you could try re-ordering your plug leads in the order that is right in the book, and make sure that the 1342 is correct in correlation with the distributor..
however, like you say, because its a different engine (or at least part of it is) it could be that the firing order has become different because thats best for the engine..
:dontknow: im probably not the best person to be giving you advice, but thats my opinion anyways.. hope this helps

if it was wrong, it wouldnt run
EV = DX block, just from a MK2 rather than MK1. Its essentially exactly the same bottom end, only real difference is inlet points the wrong way. Also if its a later one it may have hydralic tappets rather than solid, but that doesnt make much difference when ordering parts anyway
