the "motor" manual i have shows the firing order to be 1-4-9-8-5-2-11-10-3-6-7-12, if the wires are placed in the cap terminals as numbered and the rotor rotated it appears the firing order would be 1-4-3-8-5-2-11-10-9-6-7-12, which one is correct ?

has anyone purchased a new distributor from Auto Garage Vintage in san ramone,calif. ? and if you have how was your experience.?

i do not currently have a 6 volt battery, and no need to purchase one at this time, but i do have a spare 12 volt that i would like to use to turn the engine over to do a compression test. having never tried this before i want to be sure not to do any damage. if anyone has done this before i would like to hear from you. also i know the engine will turn when pushed in gear. thanks in advance for any help.

do you have a part #, and or a supplier for the bushings ? they should be approx. 1 1/8" o.d. thanks,
