the rotor spins the opposite way on the 1 litre and the 1.3 than the 1.6 and 1.8, but the order of leads of the same.

1-3-4-2. any other way and it pops and farts alot as I found out once  :grin:

I think the second diagram thing is the right order

Could have been that someone has fitted the Dizzy 180 degrees out, which isn't a problem as long as the dizzy timing is also 180 degrees out  :grin:

On my driver at cylinder #1 TDC the rotor arm points towards the head, and lines up with the notch in the dizzy housing.  Which I think means it is the same as the first diagram, but I'll check at lunch time  :wink:
