Firing order 1.6 pinto

[Kermit]

Hi all I’m sure this has been discussed many times before but I can’t really find information just wondering does anybody know the firing order of a Ford Pinto 1.6 engine I’m assuming cylinder one is the one nearest the timing belt unfortunately I don’t know from the distributor as I look at it on the cap which lead goes to which cylinder any help or links would be greatly appreciated thank you very much

Yes and 1342 pretty standard.

I’m assuming as I look at my distributor cap the point at 12 o’clock is 1, 3 o’clock is3, 6 o’clock is 4 and 9 o’clock is 2

Not necessarily, you need to turn the engine over til no 1 is on compression then look where the rotor arm is pointing, that is no 1 lead.

Hi Peter I have also seen a notch in top of the dizzy under the dizzy cap does that help denote position 1 ?
