Take off the cap and look at the thin top edge of the distributor body where the cap sits. On this edge you will find a small notch cut in to the surface. This is for number one cylinder and so if you make a mark on the body of the dizzy, when you put the cap back on, you can see which pole of the cap this corresponds to. Then, on the side of the dizzy, there is an arrow which points in the direction of rotation the rotor arm rotates. Follow this around to the next pole of the cap and that pole is for number 3 cylinder, and then the next is number four and finally number 2, so the order is 1, 3, 4, and 2.
