FIRING ORDER & TIMING MARKS

WARNING: On the 3.0L V6, the firing order and the spark plug

connection order on the top of the distributor do not match.

Circuits internal to the distributor cap differ from the

external spark plug wire connections. This is intentional and

is done to avoid spark plug wires crossover. See Fig. 3.
