HT Lead Positions

[Goodwood]

This may seem like a silly question but can anyone tell me which HT lead goes to which point on the Distributor cap?

Also when changing the Rotor arm does it need to be refitted so the face is at the same angle as the one being removed?

Thanks in advance for any help as haynes is extremely vauge!

Rotor arm can only go on one way as it has a key way. From memory the leads go on in firing order anticlock wise on cap, starting with 1 which is the furthest plug away connected to top left of cap if looking at cap straight on. Its easy to work out, order is 12453.

The rotar arm will only go on one way I think anyway mate.

Thanks for your help, shes up and running again now. If i had looked in daylight its marked on the Dizzy cap cover which lead goes where?!!!!

Sorry for being so slow!

Top tip is to only disconnect 1 lead at a time - replace with the new one. That way you never get it wrong

Thats how i usually do it but my so called mates decided it would be fun to disable my car and see if i could work out what was wrong?!!
