Hi all , can someone please confirm the order the leads go onto the dizzy cap please.

After changing my flywheel pulse sensor i now have a spark .

But the car is coughing black smoke and poping gunshot sounds when turning over.

The order i currently have while looking at the car from the passenger side is

Cylinder 1 from the flywheel onto bottom left of dizzy
". 2 onto top left of dizzy
". 3 onto bottom right
". 4 onto top right

Depends on which of 3 engines you have whether number 1 is nearest the radiator or the windscreen.

What have you removed, just the leads or the whole distributor?

Oh yeah sorry its the 1.7 carb

Sorry, long way from the 1.7 but found this piccy....



... which isn't mine so sorry to Bart Bierens for blaggin this from wiki-something or other.

thanks for that looks like i have them wrong .

Its just occurred i could try google images .

Hello, in that view lower right of dizzy cap goes to cylinder No 4 (i.e. the longest lead). Lower left goes to No. 3. Ta bog.

Hi yeah i had mine totaly wrong , i switched thrm round and hey presto she fired up straight away .

I must have mixed them up when swapping the dizzy.

Thanks
