Putting things back together on my 84 southwind and I can’t seem to get my plug wires correct on my distributor 🤦♂️ Would someone mind labeling the dizzy with cylinder numbers? My firing order is 1-8-4-5-6-2-7-3 http://s163.photobucket.com/user/charlie171717/media/551944A7-DB35-4E59-9BE5-276EE61CF8E2.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">  Thanks for the help! ------------- -- Charlie 1984 Southwind |

This is a trick question because can't know where the number 1 cylinder is without more information. You should remove the cap, find Top dead center on the compression stroke of cylinder 1 and then take a picture of the engine again without the distributor cap. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

I think I just needed a mind reset, thanks for the help! I found cylinder 1 and then was good to go. Doh! Fired right up and running great! ------------- -- Charlie 1984 Southwind |
