Distributor Cap Help!

[Spikehaus]

Managed to sort it out today and all running again!

I aligned the crank shaft timing marks to TDC, then checked the marking in the distributor housing under the dust cap, it was still 180 degree out, so gave it another full rotation. The rotor arm then aligned with the mark in the distributor housing. I ignored the Haynes manual for the position of the spark plug leads, and placed them in accordance with the firing order 1,4,2,5,3,6, and position of the rotor arm.

Started first time.

Thanks for the help guys. Quite simple when you know and appreciate the logic behind it all.

The engine still seems to pop on rapid deceleration or engine braking when hot, any ideas?
