I have three or four MGB books here, they all say the firing order is 1-3-4-2 right?
Ok - first off I don't believe that's how I had mine. I don't know when I messed it up but apparently I got a couple wires crossed and I think it was 1-3-2-4. Strangely it ran ok like this sometimes. Mostly it was awful.
I removed the cap from the wires and cleaned it up and put it back on with the order 1-3-4-2 and got no fire.
I am assuming this is clockwise and number 1 is just "up" from the external wire connector?
None of my books have a diagram of this!!!
I also found my points were set at less than .010 so I adjusted them to .014 - this might also make a difference (if I ever get it to run again).
