Sequence of ignition Leads

[ham204]

Is this the correct sequence?

You can put the leads in different sequences but this is the original order.

Damn, I didn't get one pot lead right!

Thanks for showing me the way

This is how I did mine, by marking how the old leads came out.
Interesting its the same way as ham204 and the distributor looks to be in the right way?

You have the shaft 180 degrees out and had it corrected by having the leads 180 degrees out again.

But that means, two wrongs make a right !

Good info, I need to check mine.

Jeroen, thanks for that information about the jackshaft being 180 degrees out.

The engine is just as I bought it 5 years ago so it seems whoever built it put it together wrong. Now I know not to copy it!

Distributor shaft. You can pull the dizzy out, turn by the rotor 180 degrees and push it in again. Have then the leads in the original way.

But you can leave it as is. It's just a detail and probably thousands of cars do have this. Originally when cil one is on fire the rotor tip has to point to the lower manifold bolt. Your's is put in this way when cil 4 is on fire.
