yeh the firing order is written on the manifold and it is 12784563 but my question was where was one on the dizzy cap, no use following the lead from no.1 spark plug as the car was f**cked around with before i got it, so i replaced everything in the ignition system and was wanting to verify where one started on the dizzy cap, before or after the clip for the cap. i worked out it is after the clip..

The pic posted and how the dizzy sits was different 2 how mine was sittin in position, so basically where number 1 lead is in the pic i had 2 put the number 3 lead there, or mayb it was number 2 but neways it didnt show the starting point lol.

i know its an old thread but this came up when i was searching i know what the firing order is, but where does it start on the cap is it before or after the clip?

actually, you could start No:1 anywhere on the cap as long as you follow the correct firing order and obviously line up the rotor to suit. from memoey i started No:1 a litle further around then shown in that drawing andi don't have any of hte leads crossing another around the cap like the No:8 lead does in the above diagram
