Title: urgent lead layout
Post by: millwall on 24 November 2010, 12:43:20
hi all just replacing my leads  and got a problem 
Dis Pack:    2        6        4
                  5        3        1

                    Front of car



Engine:        5              6

                   3              4

                   1              2

                  Front of car

ive removed the leads from 6 4 2 on the pass side bot just realised  in the pic my dis pac is a different layout as on the dis layout shown i have removed the 1 3 5 leads if that makes sense    the oval connector for the dis is is on the left (driver side) is it just a case of the dis is fitted the wrong way round

the leads should be cut to lenght for each plug... ie longest lead is to the furset plug abd so on

The arrangement you have will work OK. There are 3 separate double-ended coils within the pack so the 1-4 coil can be connected to plugs 1 & 4 or 4 & 1, it doesnt matter if they are swapped. (if you see what I mean) When plug 1 is fired, plug 4 also fires, but since that cylinder is on the exhaust stroke it has no effect.
Best to make the leads match up with the numbers moulded into the pack though, less chance of an error that way.

Edit, just re-read and realised your coil pack is fitted the opposite way to normal. I will shut up now.
