Hi I recently changed my leads on my dizzy but think I have got them all mixed up the car wont start now,was wondering as to which plug starting from the one nearest the dizzy cap on the engine goes to what number on the dizzy cap
Hope someone can help out

Thanks for the replies,so do I count the spark plug nearest the dizzy as number one and so forth then the one nearest to the windscreen as six,if so the numbers on the dizzy cap do they then match up with the numbers on the dizzy cap ie dizzy cap number one goes to spark plug number one and so forth or do they match up differently,hope this makes sense

Cylinder #1 is at the front, nearest the radiator; #6 is the one nearest the bulkhead, and has the lead with the cylinder I.D. sensor on it.
If the cap is marked (not all are), then these are the cylinder numbers.
