Hi

As title, my 7 year old nephew decided to pull the spark plug lead out of the top of the dizzy and I have no idea which one goes where to put them back in.... can one of you kind chaps have a look at yours and tell me which lead goes to which plug / cylinder please.

Thank you

Sorry don't have a pinto but... Crank engine over by hand and get number one piston on the compression stroke (check with thumb over spark plug hole). When the piston gets to TDC the rotor arm will be pointing to cylinder one contact in the distributor cap. The rest of the leads will follow the firing order 1, 3, 4, 2 (I think) anti-clockwise. If you remember the rotor turns anti-clockwise at half of the engine revolutions the rest falls into place.

edit
Old age is great but thinking again the rotor turns clockwise. Hopefully someone will confirm this!

Ford is 1,2,4,3 where as most others are 1,3,4,2.

Pinto is 1,3,4,2 : I think the crossflow is 1,2,4,3

Pinto is 1-3-4-2

Turn engine by hand to line up the tdc marks on crank and can pulleys, pop the dizzy cap off, the the rotor is point nearest to is cylinder 1
