so looking at the car from the front  number 1 would be front left. 3 back left . 4 back right 2 front right. I have it in this sequence and it will not fire. I had taken apart the dizzy to replace the seal and am pretty sure I reasembled it correctly. there is definatly fuel getting through and all the leads are producing a spark. I had forgot to plug the hall sender in when I first started it up and it did make a loud pop backfire type noise. any suggestions greatly apreciated.

Back right number 1??. That would mean my dizzy is possibly 180 deg out. I'm really confused now  :sad:

ABF has a locked dizzy. Think it can only go on one way.
