1949 8N firing order questio

rw3al3 · Feb 4, 2017

Situation: Working on uncles tractor. I understand firing order is 1-2-4-3 Question: #1 closest to fan. Should wire as marked of distributor marked 1-2-3-4 goes as 1-2-3-4 on plugs from front to back OR are 3 and 4 switched? The tractor was running before he burned up points which I'm replacing now.Thanks, Ricky

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you are only replacing points, firing order shouldn't matter. Just pull the cap and put it back on.

'49 8N SHOULD have a front mount dist.If so connect the plug wires as JMOR's top illustration shows.
