<x-charset iso-8859-1>Robb, the best thing to do is to set the engine at TDC for #1, then make
sure the rotor is pointing to your #1 plug wire.  Then in a clockwise
direction install the other wires as such:  1 > 4 > 3 > 2.

    Your dizzy cap should look something like this from the top:

     (3)      (2)
           O
     (4)      (1)


    And your cylinders should look like this from the top:

    3 [   ] 1
    4 [   ] 2

Don't forget:  to set the engine at TDC for #1, turn the engine clockwise
until the intake valve opens and begins to close.  Just when the #1 intake
valve begins to close, look for the timing mark approaching the top of the
pulley.  Turn the engine until the timing mark is North (up) and you're at
#1 TDC  The rotor should be pointing toward #1 plug wire now and the
"groove" in the top of the dizzy should be near #1.
