With the crank sprocket lined up to TDC and cam pulley on the mark, the rotor arm should be pointing to cyl 1. After that they go in firing order
clockwise (1-3-4-2 isnt it??)

I think its 1-3-4-2 on the pinto find one on the distributor by sticking your finger over the spark plug hole of cylinder one and turn it over by hand
till you feel the air compress and the cut out on the lower pulley lines up with the timing pointer. Number one will be where the rotor lined up with
the lead on the cap. Very simple to do, don’t you have a manual…?

Pinto distributors rotate clockwise.

I set my pinto up as 1-3-4-2, seems to run remarkable well considering
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

1-3-4-2
No 1 socket on the distributor has a dot next to it. No 1 cylinder is at the front/elt end. Its in the Haynes manual, first or second entry in the
engine specifications at the front of the engine chapter (in a sierra haynes manual)
