As title
Got a M20 engine (325i) out of a 1989 car.

Whats the order on the leads?

Firing order is 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 .. is that correct?
With cylinder 1 being at the front of the car.

But what I dont know is where the leads go on the distributor cap, as I have 7 leads coming out the lead rail.
I can work out which lead goes to which cylinder ..


So what order does the leads go onto the distributor cap?

This is the cap I have ..

and yes I know I should have marked it before I removed it


Thanks in advance
