Dang a note from Wiki says: Although the vast majority of automobile engines rotate clockwise as viewed from the front, some engines are designed by the manufacturer to rotate counter-clockwise to accommodate certain mechanical configurations. In these applications, the firing order is shown in a reverse order (though it still starts with 1). For the most common inline configurations, this gives firing orders of 1-3-2, 1-2-4-3, and 1-4-2-6-3-5. In addition to the reconfiguration of the plug wires or injector tubes, the valve timing must be accordingly modified.
but dunno as the OP hasnt responded again...
. When I started the Super Six swap I also decided it was time for a major tune up so I picked up the usual plugs, dist. cap, rotor, oil and filters. The dist. cap I had bought was a different brand than what was all ready on the engine so when I used a reference point on the old cap to put the wires on the new cap the wires were 1 hole advanced. I found this out by bringing the #1 cyl up and checking the rotor placement thats when I found the wires to be in the wrong place. I then moved the wires to the correct place and she fired right up
