Firing order confusion

Post by Ctmangrum »

Anyone else read this as both diagrams are for a left hand rotation? I would think the bottom diagram should be going clockwise.

Nope, one is LH and the other is RH rotation as it states. Don't base your conclusion about engine rotation by looking at the rotation of the distributors (arrows) as they will rotate in the same direction regardless of engine rotation. The firing order is what gives it away. Looks like they are Ford engines.
