I have a Volvo Penta AQ125B, 2.1 liter, in a 1985 Bayliner Capri. Does anyone know whether the rotor in the distributor spins clockwise or counterclockwise. Whoever put the plug wires on before I bought it obviously didn't recognize that there is a specific firing order. So I want to put them back on, but I only know where one is and not sure which direction to proceed in.

Pull the cap, crank the engine and watch which way it turns.

I was trying to avoid having to do that, but I guess that's the best way to find out. I suppose I was just being lazy. Thanks, again, Don.
