Dizzy should only go in one way as the tang on the shaft is offset. Got the leads going the right way? No 1 should be closest to the radiator and they should go counter clockwise from there.
Got a timing light?

All good got the old girl running again
This what i thought the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4 Well it is but 1 wasn't were it should have been
So the first pic is how it is now (car running fine) and the 2nd pic is how i thought it "should" have been,any ideas?

Look to be 180 degrees out as firing order the same. At least it's running now, just enjoy it. Cheers.
