distributor wire order

M Sailer · Oct 30, 2009

Im having trouble finding the correct wire order for the distributor of a 4-cyl 56' International 300U. I know the firing order but believe the wires are not in the corresponding locations on the cap. Can anyone help?

Bring No1 piston near the radiator to TDC on the compression stroke. Hold your thumb over the plug hole until you feel pressure while someone hand cranks the engine. Drop a LARGE handle screwdriver on top of the piston and watch it rise as someone slowly cranks the engine until the screwdiver quits rising. Then remove the cap and see where your rotor is pointing. That will be where your No1 plug wire should be installed. Then install the rest of the wires to their corresponding plug in this firing order:
2-1
4-3 As the rotor rotates CW. Hal
