Firing Order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Looking under the bonnet from the front of the car,counting from the fan end of the engine,the Left bank plugs are 2-4-6-8 and the Right bank are 1-3-5-7.
As a guide,No.1 plug lead is at approx. 5 O'clock on the distributor cap and No. 8 lead at approx. 6 O'clock.The plug lead sequence on the distributor cap-working clockwise is 1-8--4-3-6-5-7-2. The centre lead on the cap goes to the Ignition Coil.Hope this helps.

i think having two threads running simultaniously about the samer thing complete with unclear descriptions is asking for trouble, check the other thread and bin this one

got the exact same problem with my one at the moment, could you confirm wether the roughly 5 and 6 o clock positions are with the dizzy in place and clipped in or going from the top of it from so the lucas and made in UK text is facing straight when the dizzy is unclipped, would be much apreciated as i think ive got mine in the right place as it sounded like it was running ok for a minute or so and is now running like crap again.
