The boy removed his dizzy competely and I put it in but unsure if its right.
I put engine on TDC firing stroke then put dizzy in and turned key on then turned dizzy till points sparked.
Put cap on and well im not sure if its right. The car was back firing before this was done and now is worse.
We were tryin to fix it by replacing dizzy but the one we got didnt seem to work. So back to the old one

a) Ensure that leads are pointing to the correct cylinders. Especially the sequence and following the direction rotation of the rotor. (Don't laugh - I once managed to fit a Sunbird dizzy cap 180 out. It still ran. The other trick was setting the leads |

Does the dizzy usually rotate the same direction as the engine eg clockwise from the front? Ill have to check when I get home I guess by flicking the key.

Easiest way to check which way the dissy rotates especially if it's out of the car is to view the pull rod from the vacuum advance unit as a finger pointing in the direction that the distributor turns.
On a straight 6 engine cylinders 1 & 6 are at t |
