Ok, my cow helped me out by removing the plug wires from my side mounted distributor cap.

the i&t manual states, 1243

1 is marked on the cap, and if i have doe it right, 2 is counter clockwise from 1 ( away from tractor ), etc.

If I understand it, wire 1 from the cap goes to 1st plug, up by radiator, 2 goes to second plug, 3 goes to last plug, and 4 goes to 3rd plug.

Starts that way... sounds about right I guess.

Is this correct? ( Dell? )

Soundguy, The normal side mount dist can be installed such that the # 1 Cap spigot (Marked) is not aligned with # 1 cylinder. Some of the old timers just move the wires to match cylinders and rotate the Dist (quick & easy field fix). Its always best to insure that the Rotor is Pointing at Cap Spigot # 1 when cylinder #1 is at the top of its Compression Stroke.

JMHO

I figured I had it right, I just wanted to make sure that I was identifying #2 correctly... however since it started, I was pretty sure it was correct.

I read the other posts, but the info on the cap I was looking for was different, as the one in the previous discussion was for frontmount.

thanks, ( and thanks Dell )
