Can someone tell me the firing order and how to connect the sparkplug wires to the distributor cap in relation to that. Its been conected by someone but i think its done the wrong way. It backfires into the carb. Need help asap, have to plow the driveway.

Firing order is 1-2-3, as cast into the intake manifold. #1 contact on the distributer cap should be a little towards the front of the cap and away from the block. Assuming the distributer shaft is timed properly with the cam. I think #2 and #3 are counterclockwise from that point. Verify that by observing distributer rotation while cranking with the cap off.

Well gott the firing order right, the distributer runs counter clockwise so that was correct but stil nothing. The #1 is pointing towards the #1 cilinder, the #3 pointing towards the #3 cilinder and the #2 is in the middle away from the block. Can some tell me if that"s correct?

sorry i dont have a manual right here as i am at home, but here is little trick we did on a tractor that we had no manuals on. We wadded paper towels in each of the spark plug holes the turned the engine over as the towels shot out we note the firing order. then i held my thumb over #1 sparkplug hole and as i felt the compression i noted where the rotor was pointing. then i put the wires on accordingly.
