Thanks for the help Autozen: If I understand you correctly.
Firing order 15486372
Looking at dist. cap (1:00) is #1 cyl now going ccw (11:30) should be #5 cyl plug wire. still going ccw around the cap (10:00) would be #4 cyl plug wire. and so on. If this is true, mine is not even close. This could be why I can not time it to 5*atdc. What do you think. Thanks
