can anyone tell me this.

I know the car fires up in this order - 1,3,4,2

But can anyone tell me if the spark plugs themselves run from 1 - 4 from left to right?

also

what order is the coil connectors in?
I know its not straight forward 1 - 4 (top to bottom).

The car doesn't have a dizzy cap, just the coil on the right hand side of the engine.

anyone with any pics? or could anyone just tell me the order is should be wired in.

Many thanks in advance.

100% no dizzy.

This is the original engine, and it has a coil unit on the side of the engine.

if you look at the top where it say Vauxhall, you will see its thin and rectangular, this is because their is only one cam, and one set of valves in each cylinder,

16v engines have 2 cams and so the engines are bigger at the top, and because theres 2 cams theres 2 sets of valves ( 4 valves for every cylinder )
